Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, June 06, 2026 Klingon word: lIghon Part of speech: [geographic] noun Definition: Ligon _______________________________________________ (KGT 141-2): Thus {lIghon wa'} (Ligon I) is the planet orbiting closest to the Ligon sun; {lIghon cha'} (Ligon II) is the second closest ... Ligon has sometimes been called {lIghonya'} in addition to {lIghon} (SuStel [DATE?]): Ligon II is the planet where Tasha Yar fought Lutan's wife Yareena in a duel to the death in [TNG] "Code of Honor." ... It is the source of the {lIghon DuQwI' pogh} "Ligonian spike glove," which is the weapon Yar and Yareena use in their duel. Klingons apparently have had contact with Ligon II, directly or indirectly, because the weapon shows up in the occasional Klingon home in television shows (they've got the prop lying around...). SEE: lIghon DuQwI' pogh glavin, Ligonian spike glove (n) - "A traditional weapon on planet Ligon II, used in ritual combat. Resembling a gauntlet-length oversized glove, the end of the glavin has a large, vicious hook and is covered with poison-tipped spines. Tasha Yar fought Yareena with glavins [in 2364]." (STE [1994] p.114: TNG "Code of Honor") lIghonngan Ligonian (person) KGT - "A name for the inhabitant of a planet (and, therefore, the name of a race of beings) is formed by adding {ngan} (inhabitant) to the planet name (excluding the number, if any): {lIghonngan} (Ligonian), {tera'ngan} (Earther, Terran), {romuluSngan} (Romulan). (Actually, there is some phonetic variation here. Ligonian is often pronounced {lIghongan}, dropping the final {n} of {lIghon} before the initial {ng} of {ngan}. This is not considered an error, only an alternate pronunciation.)" (KGT 141) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
