Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, November 02, 2019 Klingon word: tarDIghaD Part of speech: noun Definition: tardigrade Source: qepHom 2015 p.14 _______________________________________________ (qepHom 2015, p.14): Maltz was once asked for the Klingon word for tardigrade. He never heard of such a thing. He said just to use the Federation Standard word with a Klingon pronunciation: {tarDIghaD}. FYI: Tardigrades are microscopic and very resistant micro-animals that resemble eight-legged pandas, thus the nickname "water bears". Tardigrades are tough and can survive — but apparently not reproduce — in the harsh conditions of space. JOKE: “Tardigrade: the direction you turn when you decide to head back to your TARDIS" (SuStel, 11/16/2016) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
