Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, September 25, 2022 Klingon word: moHaq Part of speech: noun Definition: prefix _______________________________________________ (KGT 172): Klingon grammarians refer to the rule that governs the use of pronominal prefixes as the rule of {rom} (literally, accord). Grammarians of Federation Standard and many Earth languages call the phenomenon agreement. Thus, in the case of Klingon, the prefix used must "agree" with the noun to which it refers; if the object noun is plural, for example, the prefix must be one that is used with plural objects. Agreeing is not a trait typically associated with Klingon nature, however, and apparently, at least under certain circumstances, this may extend to grammar as well. (Okrand to charghwI', HQ 7.4 [Dec. 1998]): The other tricky thing is some people say you can put any prefix on any verb. I suppose that you can, but just because you can doesn't mean that you should.
