{gher'ID} (n) "results, outcome, effect, repercussions, consequence, ramification".
The words "results/outcome/effect" -the way I understand them- are neutral; i.e. we can have a positive or negative result, a positive or negative outcome, a positive or negative effect.
But googling repercussion/ramification I found:
- repercussion: "an unintended consequence of an event or action, especially an unwelcome one".
- ramification: "a complex or unwelcome consequence of an action or event".
So, when it comes to the klingon noun {gher'ID} do we use it for results/outcomes/effects which are good, which are bad, or can we use it for both?
The complete gloss gives no indication that *gher'ID* has a negative connotation. I would try to avoid assuming that connotations of the English gloss are also connotations of the Klingon word, unless there were some reason to think so. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
