Klingon word: mutlhwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: constructor, assembler, put togetherer Source: Marc Okrand, Email 01/09/2012 _______________________________________________ (MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012): Words for bricklayer, roof maker, plumber, and so on are all based on the verb {mutlh}, meaning construct, assemble, put together. Someone who does this, then, is a {mutlhwI'}. [...] The idea is that a {mutlhwI'} puts things together. So a {ngogh mutlhwI'} is not (necessarily) someone who makes bricks, but someone who takes bricks that are already made and assembles them into something (such as a building). Similarly, a {beb mutlhwI'} doesn't make the roof, but, rather, lays out the shingles or planks or stones or whatever the roof is made out of. [...] Someone who repairs any of these things (who may or may not be the same person who installed/assembled them) is a {tI'wI'} {(tI'} "repair"). Most {mutlhwI'pu'} are also {tI'wI'pu'} - but you'd be advised to check with them first.
