Klingon word: Su'wan ghew Part of speech: noun Definition: butterfly Source: The Little Prince [TLP] _______________________________________________ (TLP): This is not a literal translation for such an animal, but Maltz suggested this word, because he knows it for a flying insect with largish wings. SEE: ghew bug, insect (n) 'ughDuq ghargh caterpillar (n) - (TLP): Maltz said this is a little squirmy thing that somehow turns into a {Su'wan ghew}. The {'ughDuq ghargh} is not used to prepare {qagh}, by the way. PUN: "An UGly DUCKling becomes a SWAN." (Michael Kunin) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
