Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: maSquwa'

Klingon word: maSquwa' Part of speech: noun Definition: Moscow Source: qep'a' 26 [2019] _______________________________________________ (st.klingon 10/20/1998): This (sort of) parallels referring to the Russian capital as Moscow in English rather than using the Russian pronunciation *Moskva*. The point is that Moscow is an acceptable English way to pronounce the name of the city, but it's not the Russian way. (Similarly, *bat'leth* is an acceptable Federation Standard way to pronounce the name of the weapon, but it's not the Klingon way.) SEE: raSya' Russia (n) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
