Klingon word: lep Part of speech: noun Definition: solid (state of matter)
I think the "state of matter" note was only to disambiguate which meaning Okrand is referring to. Note BTW that we also have the quality {Sub} "be solid". From: Lieven L. Litaer
Maybe my knowledge of English is not sufficient, but what exactly does that mean? How would I use such a word in a sentence? We got this word together with {betgham} "liquid" and {lI'choD} "plasma (state of matter)".
As we know, In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter > In addition to {SIp} "gas", we now have words for all four.
Can I say {betgham 'oH bIQ'e'} or {lep 'oH nagh'e'} ?
I would think so.
Or does "solid" and "liquid" mean something else? How does {taS} "solution (liquid)" fit in here?
AFAIK our only example is from TalkNow!: {DIr QanwI' taS} "suntan lotion".
Would a plural form of those makes sens? {lepmey vIlegh}
Well, it would to a Changeling. <g> Merriam-Webster has a comprehensive definition with some (not many) example sentences: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/solid -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
