Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, October 31, 2016
Klingon word: qop Part of speech: verb Definition: arrest
AFAIK never used in a sentence.
And I see no evidence in Star Trek that Klingons have any kind of permanent police force, though suspects are taken into custody and courts are convened to try them. So perhaps {qop} is used in the more general sense of the word "arrest," causing motion or some other process to be halted. One might then say ?{HachchoHghach qoplu'bogh} for arrested development. ~mIp'av
