From: mayqel qunen'oS
charghwI': If you have a specific example where there isn’t a word like {reD}, let’s work with it. Since you ask: "The tumor breaks through the outer surface of the bone"
How about: Hom jeqchoH HanDI’ tlhoQ “the cellular conglomeration protrudes from the bone” If the tumor – whatever you want to call it in Klingon – protrudes from the bone, it has broken through the outer surface. Okrand on {jeq} “protrude from” and the following sentence from the “Federation Travel Guide” by Michael Jan Friedman (1997): tajwIj 'oHbe' chorlIj jeqbogh Dochvetlh'e' That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection. FTG (MO to Qermaq, st.k 6/18/1997): The object of this verb would be the thing from which something else (the subject) protrudes. Thus, {chor jeq taj} means a knife protrudes from a belly. I suppose this is a handy word to know if you're vacationing on Qo'noS. -- Voragh
