Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, July 28, 2017
Klingon word: rID Part of speech: verb Definition: digest (the process food goes through) Source: qep'a' 23
(HQ 12.4:8): When air (or gas) from the stomach works its way up and comes out of the mouth (often noisily), one is said to {ruq} "belch". Maltz said it is acceptable to refer to this gas as {SIp}, a general word for gas of any kind, but that gas produced within the body is known as {Qep'It}. When, rather than gas, undigested or partially digested food comes up, one is said to {'em}, "vomit", and the matter being vomited, that is, vomit, is called {quy'Ip}. However, because Klingons have redundant stomachs they rarely get nauseous.
