Horse in Klingon
by Jesse Manoogian 31 Dec '19

31 Dec '19

Thanks, Felix! That was quite the Ha'DIbaHQeD lesson! Another major difference between sarks and horses, from what you've mentioned, is that a sark is omnivorous. And what with their variety of coat colors, much like in the old Wizard of Oz movie, one could have a "Sargh of a different color"! >Klingon for the Galactic Traveler describes a {Sargh} ("sark") as > > >"an animal somewhat resembling a Terran horse, both in appearance and in that Klingons >(generally individually) often ride on the animal's back" > > >In the TNG episode "Pen Pals", Picard had the following exchange with the holodeck >computer: > > >PICARD: Computer, programme the holodeck for a woodland setting, with a bridle path and an >appropriate mount. >COMPUTER: Type of mount?

Horse in Klingon?
by Jesse Manoogian 29 Dec '19

29 Dec '19

I'm trying to find out how to say "horse" in Klingon. Apparently there are Kronos equivalents for many common English animal names (a jentu' is obviously a penguin, for instance), but I can't find the Klingon equivalent of a horse. You'd think that for such a common animal word there would be a Klingon equivalent in use. Does Kronos have a horse-analogue, and if so, what is the name of it?
