Did he point so specifically to his eyelash that we can be sure he didn't mean eyelid? (And what is the word for eyelid, btw...?) -- De'vID _______________________________________________ Good question. AFAIK there isn't one. As far as we know Klingons might view the eyelid + eyelashes as one body part (like the hair on your arm or armpit). Perhaps they have different words for upper vs. lower eyelids. Who knows? We may be being led astray by the pun: {muylIS} is *cilium* backwards (Latin for eyelash). (Note that the usual English pronunciation is /silium/ with an /s/, not the more authentic /kilium/.) -- Voragh
