Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, January 10, 2021 Klingon word: nev'ob Part of speech: noun Definition: thigh, upper arm Source: Hamletmachine _______________________________________________ mutlhej porgh 'ay'meywIj neH; ngob'atDu'wIj, 'uS nev'obDu'wIj, qey'HavwIj. I am alone with my breasts, my thighs, my lap. (Lieven, Hamletmachine [2020]) 'uS nev'obDu'wIj jojDaq qo' vIboghmoHbogh vIvIQmoH. I suffocate the world which I gave birth to, between my thighs. (Lieven, Hamletmachine [2020]) (Lieven, klingon.wiki/En/Hamletmachine): {nev'ob} refers to both the thigh and the upper arm (above the elbow). Similarly, {reStav} refers to both the shin and the forearm. If it's necessary to make a distinction, precede these words with {'uS} or {DeS}. {reStav} refers to both the shin and the forearm. But when preceded by {'uS}, it means ‘lower part of the leg’. You could also say {DeS cha'neH} for forearm, but this would probably be used only in a context where you were talking about both the forearm and the lower leg and wanted to clarify which was which. {reStav} is shin, meaning the front of the lower leg. (I assume [the German word] *Schienbein* is ‘shin bone’. {reStav} is more than just the bone. The only way Maltz was aware of for referring to the bone is {reStav Hom}.) {Do'ghI'} is calf, meaning the back of the lower leg ([the German word] *Wade*, presumably).
