In English, these words have other meanings in common use (especially colloquially) than their scientific understandings. “Solid” can also imply things like “firm” or “structurally stable” — including for abstract concepts. “Liquid” can be applied to movement and form. “Solution” can also be the answer to a problem. As a native English speaker, I personally find the disambiguation helpful to distinguish between other uses of the words. —jevreH Sent from my iPhone

Klingon word: lep Part of speech: noun Definition: solid (state of matter)
Maybe my knowledge of English is not sufficient, but what exactly does that mean? How would I use such a word in a sentence?
We got this word together with {betgham} "liquid" and {lI'choD} "plasma (state of matter)".
Can I say {betgham 'oH bIQ'e'} or {lep 'oH nagh'e'} ?
Or does "solid" and "liquid" mean something else? How does {taS} "solution (liquid)" fit in here?
Would a plural form of those makes sens? {lepmey vIlegh}
