AFAIK {vIng} has never been used or discussed by Okrand so we don't know if it means to make a high-pitched noise (an engine for example), to complain in a particularly annoying tone of voice, or both.

(Tuvok to B'Ellana, VOY "Barge of the Dead") SEE ALSO: jach cry out, scream (v) tlhup whisper (v) boj nag (v) bep complain, gripe (v) chuS be noisy (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons ---------------------------------------------------------------------Original Message------------------------------------------------------------ From: PICHLMANN Christoph Probably has been suggested before, but: Possible pun on "whinge" ? Apparently it's possible to use it as a synonym for whine, but I only know the word from forums, where it's been used to describe those who constantly lament about others whining. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, January 12, 2019 Klingon word: vIng Part of speech: verb Definition: whine Source: TKD (112 KE)
