We don't know of any difference. I'd say the difference between /squirm/ and /writhe/ is that the latter suggests tension while the former does not. But there's no telling whether the Klingon words have the same difference. On 4/26/2018 4:07 PM, kechpaja wrote:
Do we have a sense of what the difference is between the meanings of {ghIS} and {nogh}? In English, "wiggle" or "squirm" does accurately describe what a bowl of {qagh} would do, and it would be a little bit strange (but still basically correct) to use "writhe". In my experience, "writhe" usually describes people who are in pain, though I guess you might see it in other contexts.

Thanks. Since it was a sentence fragment, I assumed there was some missing text.

(qurgh?, 7/2017): ... a word you might use when describing a bowl full of {qagh} It was described that way on page 4 of the booklet of the qep'a', which included some other words with the title "Movements".
If you like to be /very/ correct, there were no dots, but parentheses:
{ghIS} - wiggle, squirm (v) (a word you might use when describing a bowl full of {qagh})
