De’vID, thanks for answering. I was hoping for a bit more context. Do you know how {maQmIgh} was used in the story, maybe the actual sentence or paragraph or even the name and author of the story? I’ve been wondering for thirty years! For those whose Klingonaase is rusty, Mortas-Te-Kaase - also spelled *mortaste kaase* - means "The Death's Hand". -- Voragh ________________________________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol On Behalf Of De'vID Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2022 1:26 AM On Fri, 13 May 2022 at 16:13, Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu<mailto:sboozer@uchicago.edu>> wrote: Klingon word: maQmIgh Part of speech: noun Definition: dark omen, sign of evil coming Source: veS QonoS _______________________________________________ Published by the KLI in HolQeD 1.3 and reprinted again in HolQeD 5.4.

Yes, the words were used in a story which was published in the Mar. 18, 1990 edition of {veS QonoS}.
