Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, May 14, 2017
Klingon word: morgh Part of speech: noun Definition: unit of area (27 square 'ujmey) Source: qepHom 2016
An {'uj} is a Klingon unit of linear measure, approximately 35 cm. (st.k 2/03/1999): An {'uj} is a unit of linear measurement, roughly 35 centimeters; an {'uj'a'}, or "big *uj*" [...] is nine times as long, or nine *ujes*, somewhat over three meters. [...] Thus the existence of a unit known as a "big *uj*" ({'uj'a'}) does not mean there's a mathematically related diminutive counterpart (a "little *uj*," or {'ujHom}). Someone did the math and based on the measurements from the BoP Poster, 1 {'uj} ≈ 0.3483 meters or 34.83 cm. AFAIK never used in a sentence. N.B. Do not confuse with the verb {morgh} "protest". ?{morgh} also appears as a morpheme in the unrelated nouns {may'morgh} "battle array" and {rejmorgh} "worrywart". -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
