Klingon word: ya Part of speech: noun Definition: tactical officer Source: TKD (114 KE, 156 EK) _______________________________________________ ya ghaH qImlaq Sogh'e' Lieutenant K'mlak is the tactical officer. (KGT) (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}, the communications officer is the {QumpIn}, the weapons officer is the {nuHpIn}, the engineering officer is the {jonpIn}, the tactical officer is the {ya}, and the helmsman is the {DeghwI'}. It is not correct, however, to say {qImlaq ya} (Tactical Officer K'mlak). On the other hand, one might say, {ya ghaH qImlaq Sogh'e'} (Lieutenant K'mlak is the tactical officer).
