Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: ghotI' (noun)
Is *ghotI''a'* canon? A little googling reveals that it's used in translating The Book of Psalms, but it doesn't seem to be in any dictionary or wordlist I coulld find. Besides, should we keep using it now that we know the word *SolbIS* for whale/dolphin?
SEE: ghotI''a' whale (n) bIQDep fish (n)
Even Klingon has synonyms. {ghotI’’a’} doesn’t have to be THE word for whale. It can be A word for whale. It certainly qualifies as a very significant fish-like creature. It’s not like anyone would not know what you were likely talking about. pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
