Klingon word: 'olQan Part of speech: noun Definition: gap Source: qep'a' 25 [2018] _______________________________________________ (qep'a' 2018): like the space between your teeth or the area between rows of seats in a theater, but it (and {‘olQanmey}) can be used for the space in a room, space on a desk, etc. A verb commonly used with {‘olQan} is {‘uch}. This generally means "hold, grasp", but when the object is {‘olQan} it’s often translated "occupy" or "take up.") PUN: “I have no proof but I believe that {nu'Qan} is somehow related to {'olQan}, as they both refer to some kind of gap. (And talking of puns: they start with ‘new’ and ‘old’, and I don't think that's a coincidence).” (Lieven, 10/05/2021) Cf. http://klingon.wiki/En/Spacing SEE: nu’Qan alcove (n) (qep'a' 2021) SEE ALSO: logh (outer) space (n) QemjIq hole (n) qung hole in a musical instrument (n) DIn open entryway (to corridor, tunnel, conduit, Jeffries tube, branch of sewer, etc.) (n) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two.
