Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, March 23, 2017
Klingon word: QongDaq 'echlet tun Part of speech: noun Definition: mattress Source: qepHom 2016
Lit. "soft bed board"
Related words: {ngogh tun} "pillow" Maltz first said that Klingons don't have pillows and he wondered why anyone would want one. But he's seen them (somewhere) and knows what they are. So when pushed -- "If you have to call it something, what would you call it?" -- he said {ngogh tun}. (qepHom 2010) {QongDaq buq} "pillow" or "sleeping bag" He thought more about it and said maybe another way to say "pillow" was {QongDaq buq} "bed pouch," but he said that could also apply to a sleeping bag. Perhaps a sleeping bag is {QongDaq buq'a'} and a pillow is {QongDaq buqHom}. (qepHom 2010) -- Lieven L.
