Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, November 04, 2022 Klingon word: Qum Part of speech: noun Definition: communications, communication related technology Source: BOP _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. (KGT 158-59): The word {pIn} is also found in non-slang terms referring to crew members on a ship: {QeDpIn} (science officer), {QumpIn} (communications officer). ... Note that for the crew terms, in one case pIn follows a noun ({QeD}, "science" thus, {QeDpIn} is "science boss"), but in the other, it follows what is found elsewhere only as a verb ({Qum}, communicate), suggesting that there may have been a noun {Qum} (communication) at some point in the past. SEE: Qum De'wI' communications computer (n) Qum patmey communications systems (n) Qum SeHlaw communications console (n) QumpIn communications officer (n); QumwI' communicator, communications device (n) Qum communicate (v) - jIQum I communicate. KLS - naDev bIQumqa' 'e' vItul. (MO to SuStel st.k 11/96) (qurgh, 11/10/2015): I had a conversation with Marc about {'oH} and {ghaH} and animals when I was at the qepHom. He said that if you (the speaker) believe you can communicate with a creature, then it's a {ghaH}, if you don't believe you can communicate with a creature, then it's {'oH}. It's down the personal beliefs of the speaker, not a set formula.
