Klingon word: targho'nI'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: tungsten
Source: qepHom 2020
_______________________________________________
AFAIK never used in a sentence.
(qepHom 2020): Here's another element that seems to have something to do with poison ({tar}), though Maltz didn't know what {gho'nI'} might mean. He said he'd never noticed a connection between poison and some elements before and doesn't know what to make of it. Did Klingons at some point use uranium and/or tungsten to make poison?
Tungsten is also known as wolfram, which comes from German "Wolf" ({targh}) + "Rahm" ({'o'nI'}).
(I guess that answers the question of which Earth animal Dr. Okrand thinks the targ is closest to.)
