I was updating my files just now with the Klingon dialogue from the latest DSC episode "Si vis pacem, para bellum" when I noticed a relevant exchange for today's WOTD:
KOL: lIr'el, Du'arghHa'moH mIvwa'.
The scar is an improvement, L'Rell.
L'RELL: SanDIy 'oH. vItuQmo' jIHem.
Earned in battle. I wear it with pride.

Part of speech: verb
Definition: scar
(qep'a' 24 New Words): So if you have a scar that you got in a fight, that could be either a {mIvwa'} or a {SanDIy}. If you don't know whether someone's scar resulted from a wound or a disease, it's probably safest to go with {mIvwa'}. If the person's scar is actually a {SanDIy}, he/she will, under most circumstances, clarify this for you. If it's a {roptoj}, he/she may let the "misdiagnosis" slide since, as we all know, {ropchoHbe' tlhInganpu'}."
SEE:
taq be scarred (v)
mIvwa' scar (result of a wound, regardless of how the wound occurred) (n)
roptoj scar (result of some sort of disease, infection, etc.) (n)
SanDIy scar (result of a wound received in the course of fighting/battling) (n)
