I was thinking of { tIr SIrghHom} -etto/-etti is one of the diminutive suffixes in Italian. {tera' tIr qaghqoq} is more apt for "vermicelli", a different kind of pasta :) (all right, they are thicker spaghetti). Also -elli is another diminutive... On the other hand I am not sure a Klingon would bother to make a distinction between all of the varieties of pasta/noodles. If Klingons were made aware of pasta when visiting Earth, they may simply use a transliteration, but who knows, maybe spaghetti were invented on {Qo'noS} really, and Italians simply copied them!

I would probably call spaghetti something like {tIr SIrghmey} by analogy with {tIr ngogh} but when I’m feeling silly I might call them {tera' tIr qaghqoq}.
Pasta in general can probably be {tIr X} where X is the form factor of the pasta. Like lasange could be {tIr navmey} or {tIr volmey} or {tIr letbaQmey}, maybe even something like {tIr letbaQ Doj}. Penne could be something like {tIr 'ochHommey}.
For heels, maybe {waq woch}?

2. what is the klingon word for pasta in general
3. do lurSa' and be'etor wear high heels ? and if yes, how do we call them ? the heels I mean..
