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 <http://trimboli.name/>_______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org <mailto:tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org> http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org <http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org>
