Here's a question: Since the implied subject of weather words is usually *muD* (or sometimes maybe *chal* for precipitation and the like), how would you all interpret *vungwI'*? Would you read it as the noun "hurricane", as in the part of the atmosphere that's hurricaning, considered as a single system? (So you could perhaps say something like *FloridaDaq ghoSlI' 'Irma' vungwI'* *"Hurricane Irma is approaching Florida"*, with the assumption that "hurricane" is treated like a rank or title.) Or would it be taken to mean something less specific or useful, like "the atmosphere as a whole, which happens to be hurricaning somewhere", assuming it means anything at all?

Klingon word: vung Part of speech: verb Definition: cyclone, hurricane Source: qep'a' 24 [2017] _______________________________________________
"storm like a hurricane/cyclone"
SEE ALSO: jev storm (v) SIS rain (v) cheq storm like a tornado, tornado (v) ver be spiral (v)
(qurgh < MO, qep'a' 2017): You can also say {ver SuS'a'} "a tornado happens" (literally: "the big wind spirals"). {ver SuS} (or {ver SuSHom}) would most likely refer to a whirlwind.
