Klingon word: 'evta' Part of speech: noun Definition: animal similar to a newt or salamander Source: qep'a' 24 [2017] _______________________________________________ How a {'evta'} is different from a {lung} - *loong* (a type of lizardlike animal) - is unclear: (MO's KCD audio): Although {lung} is translated as "lizard", it actually can refer to any animal of that general shape, such as a newt or salamander. (KGT 49): ... a {lung} is not really a dragon, but that is a close approximation (KGT 88): The small eggs of the Tokvirian skink ({toqvIr lung}), however, are often eaten whole, shell and all, usually by the handful. "Their population is kept in check by the abundance of reptiles on their homeworld." (Phlox discussing tribbles, ENT "The Breach") SEE ALSO: QIncha' krincha (type of lizard) (n) la'SIv turtle-like animal (n) Duran lung Durani lizard (n) ghargh serpent, worm (n) I suspect {'evta'} a pun, but I can't see it. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
