Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, December 09, 2020 Klingon word: QaplaStep Part of speech: noun Definition: spool, reel, spindle Source: qep'a' 27 [2020] _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. (qep’a’ 2019): [{weSjech} "fabric, cloth, textile"] can be used for textiles or fabric in clothing, sheets, towels, and so on, but generally not for carpets or rugs (except for thin ones). (Okrand to De'vID, 10/2014): [Maltz] said there is a word perhaps best translated as "weave" and that he has heard of using sticks when doing a certain kind of weaving, but he didn't know a name for that other than weaving. (There are apparently other types of weaving also.) The word for "weave" (verb) is {nIq}. For the sticks used when doing whatever this weaving technique is, he's only heard {Hut'Inmey tIq}.
