Klingon word: QeDpIn Part of speech: noun Definition: science officer _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. (KGT 53): There are a number of words employed to describe the specific functions performed by officers on a ship, but none of these is used as a title. For example, the science officer is the {QeDpIn} … (KGT 158-59): The word {pIn} is also found in nonslang terms referring to crew members on a ship: {QeDpIn} (science officer), {QumpIn} (communications officer). It is not known whether these words originated as slang and became accepted as the regular terms or whether the use of {pIn} in the sense of expert, authority was modeled after the words {QeDpIn} and {QumpIn}. Note that for the crew terms, in one case {pIn} follows a noun ({QeD}, "science" thus, {QeDpIn} is "science boss"), but in the other, it follows what is found elsewhere only as a verb ({Qum}, communicate), suggesting that there may have been a noun {Qum} (communication) at some point in the past. Other known specialized officers are {jonpIn} "engineering officer" and {nuHpIn} "weapons officer". The religious have a boss too: {ghIn pIn} "abbot, abbess". {yaH} "duty station" may be used similarly. We know of the {Qu' vu'wI' yaH} "Mission Ops [station] (STC), {ropyaH} "infirmary, [sick bay]", and the {jonSeH yaH} "engine control, engineering (station)" (qepHom 2017). On this list I've seen *{QeDyaH} "science station" used for the place where the {QeDpIn} works on the bridge. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
