The script of the game was not written or vetted by Okrand, and is not
Okrandian canon (or even officially Star Trek canon, for that matter).
That being said, he was a creative consultant on the game and contributed a lot (if not all) of the tlhIngan Hol used therein; at least the introductory monologue and everything available in the language lab. So, there is a high probability that he came up with the term {nugh tlhegh}; definitely worth asking him about. I wonder if the {nugh tlhegh} might refer to one's lineage, as during the Rite of Ascension the character takes his place in a line of warriors. //loghaD ________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> Sent: Tuesday, January 9, 2018 17:46 To: tlhingan-hol@lists.kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] new words from DSC-subtitles (with minor SPOILERS) On 1/9/2018 11:32 AM, Steven Boozer wrote: There is another problematic example of tlhegh known: nugh tlhegh (lit.
