Klingon word: 'ab Part of speech: verb Definition: have a length/height of (object is length) Source: S32, HQ:v6n2p9; clarified by Okrand on MSN _______________________________________________ (st.k 10/22/1997): There are two words used for length: {'aD} and {'ab}. Both of these can be translated as "have a length of", but they are used somewhat differently. {'aD} is used in contrast with {juch} "have a width of" in measuring, say, a table top. {'ab}, on the other hand, is used for (potentially) longish, skinnyish things (for example, spears) and also for heights. wej 'ujmey 'ab 'oy'naQ Painstiks are a little over one meter long (S32) jav 'ujmey 'ab SuvwI' the warrior has a length of six *ujs* the warrior stands six *ujs* the warrior is six *ujs* tall (st.k 10/22/1997) vagh 'ujmey vI'ab I have a length of five *ujs* I'm five *ujs* tall.
