2. Great question. So far as I know {jIbIr} means “I’m cold,” synonymous to “I feel cold”, and if you want to say “My body is cold”, you’d say {bIr porghwIj.}
There is some canon for this, but the answer is still not so clear: When a Federation citizen on Earth says "It's rather chilly in this room," he or she may really mean "I am uncomfortably cold and want somebody to close the window." The Klingon sentence {pa'vamDaq jIbIr} means "I am cold in this room" ({pa'vamDaq,} "in this room"; {jIbIr,} "I am cold") – nothing more, nothing less. (KGT, p. 105) I'm not sure if this leaves room for interpretation. Maybe we have more canon examples on the usage of {bIr}. -- Lieven L.
