Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, November 23, 2020 Klingon word: tlhov Part of speech: verb Definition: wheeze Source: TKD:K-E _______________________________________________ (HQ 12.4:8): The word for breath is {tlhuH}, and that for breathe is also {tlhuH}. To breathe in, or inhale, is {pur}; to breathe out, or exhale, is {rech}. To breathe noisily, or wheeze, is {jev}. (This is also the verb "storm", though Maltz couldn't decide whether this was meaningful or just a coincidence.) To breathe even more noisily, or snore, is {wuD}. AFAIK Maltz has never explained the difference between {tlhov} and {jev}. SEE ALSO: Hob yawn (v) chuy sneeze (v) ruq belch (v) tlhar be allergic (to) (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
