Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, May 15, 2023 Klingon word: yuQjIjQa' Part of speech: noun Definition: United Federation of Planets _______________________________________________ Note the synonym {yuQjIjDIvI'}. AFAIK neither has been used in a sentence; Klingons seem to prefer the shorter {DIvI'} "federation". Has Maltz ever explained the difference between the two, other than the obvious of one being a type of {Qa'} while the other a type of {DIvI'}? We know of four examples: yuQjIjQa' United Federation of Planets qarDaSQa' Cardassian Union tuqjIjQa' United Kingdom 'amerI'qa' SepjIjQa' United States of America Is {Qa'} a (long-term?) political union while {boq} refers to a (temporary or short-term?) alliance, block, or coalition? De'vID, is {Qa'} - or for that matter {boq} - used in the 2nd edition of the paq'batlh? -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey.
