Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, March 31, 2017
Klingon word: moch Part of speech: noun Definition: superior Source: TKD
AFAIK {moch} has never been used in canon. Okrand refers to "someone of higher rank in the Klingon social, political, or military hierarchy" (TKD 43). Is this a {moch}? Note the verb {nIv} "be superior". (KGT 110-11): [{qutluch patlh}] means hierarchical structure. The kut'luch is a knife associated with Klingon assassins, so the imagery is one of a list, presumably in a specific order, of intended victims of the kut'luch. To determine one's place in Klingon society or to understand who has authority over whom, one must be aware of the {qutluch patlh} of the military, the government, the house with which one is associated, and so on.
