Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, April 05, 2023 Klingon word: ngap Part of speech: verb Definition: be consonant Source: qep'a' 29 [2022] _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. (qep’a’ 2022): in the sense of musical consonance or sympathetic vibrations Don't confuse with {wab poD} "consonant" (i.e. type of speech sound). SEE: ngapHa' be discordant, dissonant (v) MUSIC NOTES: (KGT 71-72): Another common way to say that a specific piece or performance of music has a particularly strong effect on a listener is to employ the verb {DuQ} (literally, stab): {muDuQ bom} ("The song stabs me", or, in a more colloquial Federation Standard form, "The song moves me"). If the music is judged positively--that is, if the listener likes it--the music is said to be {'ey}, using the word normally translated as delicious when talking about food. Rendering {'ey bom} as "The song is good" is acceptable, but it fails to capture the real feeling of the Klingon.
