Klingon word: mIv'a' Part of speech: noun Definition: crown _______________________________________________ (KGT 58): old armor included headgear of some kind apparently called a {mIv}, which, in modern Klingon, means helmet. The word [{mIv}] also survives in the word {mIv'a'} (crown; literally, "big helmet" or "great helmet"), a ceremonial headpiece worn by some Klingon emperors. AFAIK never used in canon. SEE: mIv helmet, hat (n) (KGT 27-28): In some regions, a {bargh} made of metal is a {mIv} (which also means helmet, even though, historically speaking, helmets are not necessarily made of metal), or a {mIv bargh} ("helmet pot") [Hmm... Would Cervantes approve of the joke?] Du'IHchoHmoH mIvvam This helmet suits you. TKD mIv DaS je tuQ ra'wI' The commander is wearing a helmet and a boot. KGT mIv je DaS tuQ ra'wI' The commander is in full dress uniform. KGT (idiom: note position of {je}. Cf. KGT pp. 107-8 for details) mIvwIjDaq poghlIj vIcha' I display your glove on my helmet. KGT (idiom: implies that the postponed matter is between the speaker and the addressee. Cf.
