Klingon word: DungluQ Part of speech: noun Definition: noon Source: ADD _______________________________________________ DaHjaj DungluQ this noon (lit. "today noon" or "today's noon") [st.k 6/29/1997] DungluQ tIHIv. ngugh Qongbe' chaH Attack them at noon! They won't be sleeping then. (or: "Attack them at noon. They're not sleeping then.") (st.k 11/1999) (SuSvaj at qep'a' loSDIch [date?]): As {Dung} means "area above", I had always assumed that {DungluQ} meant high sun. I asked Okrand if this was in fact the case, and if so could we infer that {luQ} meant sun. He flatly said "No you can't." Apparently it is derived from {Dung}, but he did not have high sun in mind when he coined the word. In fact he said he created {DungluQ} before the Paramount writers came up with high sun, and he was even a little ticked at the writers for inferring high sun.
