-----Original Message----- Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, July 13, 2019 Klingon word: chab Part of speech: noun Definition: pie, tart, dumpling, invention (slang), innovation (slang) _______________________________________________ (SuStel, 7/10/2004): At a qep'a' a few years ago, we asked Marc Okrand about this, and he said that {chab} would work for this. The word means any baked bread or crust sort of food. So, doughnuts are {chab}, turnovers are {chab}, and pizza is {chab}. Mince pie would be {chab}. Bagels are {chab} […] {chab} doesn't equal bread. Don't expect your audience to know what kind of {chab} you mean unless you say it. You may be talking about a hamburger bun, but I'm going to wonder why you're putting meat into your apple turnovers. Lieven, from qepHom 2015: MO: {chabHom} is fine as a general term for a cookie (food). A {bIQyIn} is a specific type of {chabHom} that's sort of two {chabHommey} stuck together. They're on top of each other, like a sandwich. (KGT 21-22): {chab chu'} (literally, "new pie") is another way to say new invention or latest innovation. This is no doubt because the Krotmag pronunciation of {chab} (pie) is {cham}, the same as the word for technology. (MO to Lieven, 11/15/2010): While thinking about food, [Maltz] added that the word for bread is {tIr ngogh}. (MO to Lieven, qepHom 2017): When you cut your bread and the crumbs fall out (like snow), you use the verb {peD}. … During explaining, it seemed like the bread is the subject of {peD}, but also the bread crumbs themselves. TREK TRIVIA: GUL OCETT: The Yridian who sold us the information claimed that the program would yield the key to an unlimited power source. CAPT PICARD: But until we assemble it, we will never know its purpose. GUL OCETT: He's right. As far as we know, it might just be a recipe for biscuits. CAPT NU'DAQ: Biscuits? If that is what you believe, then go back to Cardassia. I will send you my mother's recipe.
