Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, April 26, 2017
Klingon word: yIb Part of speech: noun Definition: vent Source: TKD
AFAIK never used in canon.
Not sure how this is different from the noun {ghImwI'} "exhaust", used one in the BOP Poster:
peng baHjan tuj ghImwI' heat exhaust for torpedo launcher (KBoP)
Is {yIb} more of an opening while {ghImwI'} - derived from {ghIm} "exile" - is an active device?
I would assume that a {ghImwI'} is a type of {yIb}. A vent doesn't necessarily have to be used for getting rid of some substance, even though that's what we normally think of when we hear the word.
SEE ALSO: taQbang exhaust (n) (waste?) pugh dregs (n) veQ garbage (n)
tlhuch exhaust (v) vuj expel, eject (v) (qep'a' 2016) nIj leak (v)
Do we know what the argument structure of {nIj} is? Is the subject the substance that's leaking, or the object from which it is leaking?
tlhuD emit (v) natlh use up (v)
What are the main semantic differences between {natlh} and {tlhuch}? Slash which sense of "exhaust" does {tlhuch} refer to (exhausting a person, exhausting a resource, or emitting exhaust)? -SapIr
