Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 29, 2020 Klingon word: tungHa' Part of speech: verb Definition: encourage _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in canon. (KGT 71): Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} ("He/she enjoys [the] music") or {bom tIv} ("He/she enjoys the song"), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}), excite ({SeymoH}), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire ({pIlmoH}). vIHtaH gho The hoop is moving. KGT (KGT 111): This expression means that an activity of finite (though perhaps indeterminate) length has started. It is used to encourage somebody to make a decision or to perform a process more quickly. SEE: tung discourage (v) SEE ALSO: vuy be helpful, supportive (v) QaH help, aid (v) num promote (v) boQ assist (v)
