Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, December 20, 2025 Klingon word: tutlh Part of speech: verb Definition: be tattooed, have a tattoo Source: Marc Okrand email to Qov 3 October 2017 _______________________________________________ (Qov > Lieven, 10/08/2017): For tattoo, I got some new stuff from Maltz: {tutlh} "have a tattoo, be tattooed (so {tutlhmoH} is to tattoo). The noun tattoo is {DIr tutlh}. If you have one pattern/design on your arm, say, that's an example of a {DIr tutlh}. If you have lots of independent patterns/designs, interwoven or separated, the whole lot of them taken together is/are {DIr tutlh}. SEE ALSO: ghItlh incise, mark (v) pe' cut (v) DIr skin, hide (n) rItlh pigment, dye, ink (n) Degh emblem, symbol, mark (n) ngutlh letter, written character, glyph (n) - "Since {ngutlh} refers specifically to symbols used to represent language, {mIllogh ngutlh} makes sense for hieroglyph.
