There's this alien..

maj. And now I ask.

Since we have just one word for both "fruit" *and* "vegetable", how in the glorious name of qeylIS the unforgettable are we supposed to say "the alien loves fruits, but hates vegetables"?

A botanist would say that a fruit is a seed-bearing part of a plant that develops from the ovary of a flowering plant, while a vegetable is any other part of a plant. Now all you need is the Klingon word for /ovary./ Good luck. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
