Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, December 20, 2020 Klingon word: tIng Part of speech: noun Definition: southwestward, area toward the southwest (approx 220 degrees on terran 360 degree compass counting c Source: HQ (8:4 p6) _______________________________________________ tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq jIlengpu' I've traveled all over the place. (st.k 11/21/1999) (st.k 11/21/1999): There is an idiomatic expression still heard with reasonable frequency which makes use of all three cardinal direction terms: {tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq}. Literally, this means "from area-southwestward to area-northwestward to area eastward", but the idiom means "all around, all over, all over the place". It is used in the same place in a sentence that the noun {Dat} "everywhere" might be used, but it is much more emphatic: {tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq jIlengpu'} "I've traveled all over the place". A more archaic form of the idiom is {tIngvo' 'evDaq 'evvo' chanDaq} (literally, "from area-southwestward to area-northwestward, from area-northwestward to area eastward)", but the three-word version (without the repetition of {'ev}) has all but totally replaced it.
