Klingon word: vIqraq Part of speech: noun Definition: artifact, work of art Source: qepHom 2016 _______________________________________________ (Lieven, 11/07/2016): “Klingon for the Galactic Traveler (p. 79) says there is no single word for art or artwork. This refers to visual art (painting, sculpture, etc.). {meHghem} (arts, the arts, culture) is a bigger, more comprehensive term covering "the arts" or "art" as opposed to "science." So it includes music, theater, dance, etc. as well as visual art. It's "culture" in this sense. Similarly, {vIqraq} (artifact, work of art) is more general than a visual piece of art. It covers that, but also an artifact (not in the archaeological sense), handicraft, gizmo, gadget, contraption, machine, device, etc. – that is, something manufactured/made. (Lieven, Facebook [tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu'], 12/01/2010): Finally, someone last year asked for the word for picture. At first, Maltz wondered why {nagh beQ} wasn't good enough. But then he thought about it some more and said that another word, {mIllogh}, could be used for any sort of depiction, including drawings, photographs, cartoons, icons on 21st-century computers, and so on.
