Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, August 11, 2016
Klingon word: mIr Part of speech: noun Definition: chain
AFAIK never used in a sentence. CULTURAL NOTES: (KGT 150): "As this word [{ghIgh}] literally means necklace, perhaps the slang usage is based on the old practice of identifying one's position within a military unit - for example, one's assignment on a ship - by means of a symbol hung on a chain worn around the neck. TREK TRIVIA: A stylized chain printed on one's clothes was used as a symbol of slavery on PLANET 892-IV. (TOS "Bread and Circuses") SEE: lupwI' mIr train (n) nuqDaq lupwI' mIr vItIj Where is the train station? (TalkNow!) SEE ALSO: tlhegh line, rope (n) SIrgh string, thread, filament (n) ghIgh necklace (n) For a link (in a chain) I use {Qeb} "ring (for finger)" or {gho} "circle, loop". -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
