{buQ} means "to threaten" so {buQwI'} means "person or thing that threatens" which is what a "threat" is.

At star trek discovery, there is the sentence:

{buQwI'vam 'omlu'meH wa' mIw tu'lu'}
there is one way to confront this threat

Can someone explain, why {buQwI'} means "threat", and not "threatener" ?

Now, don't get me wrong.. I am convinced that {ghelwI'} is "asker" and not "question". And I'm grateful to the people who explained to me what was going on.

But there is no way, I will swallow, that {buQwI'} means "threat".
