Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, May 12, 2017
Klingon word: ghogh'ot Part of speech: noun Definition: bill, payment request, something you must pay Source: qepHom 2015 p.18
MO > Lieven (10/29/2015): Here are some more words related to paper: a letter, that is a message written on a sheet of paper and sent to someone is a {nav Qin}. An envelope is called {nav vaH}. In context, {vaH} by itself is enough. The word {vaH} can actually be used for everything you put something inside of it. It's a cover for it. A bill, a payment request, something you must pay, is a {ghogh'ot}.

Okay, I really want this to be a pun on "invoice", given that it starts with {ghogh}, but I'm not sure that works. The only meaning I can find for {'ot} is "the sound of the letter <o>" (which could be a pun on "owe", but then why {ghogh}?). - SapIr On Fri, May 12, 2017 at 03:00:02PM +0000, qurgh@wizage.net wrote:

If you read it backwards - to'ghogh - you get "to voice", which is a little closer to "invoice". Maybe because a bill or payment request is sent to someone?? (It's a stretch, I know.) It's interesting that Okrand associated it with paper and envelopes. I wonder if he had a pile of envelopes with bills to pay on his desk that day? <g> -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons

Hmm. As Anthony pointed out in another message (and I had already realized, but not commented on), it could also be interpreted as {to'} "tactics" plus {ghogh}. Perhaps we're going to eventually get a word {'ot} meaning "interior".

Aren't bills just one of the staple types of physical mail? I interpret that quote as implying that he was just listing off different things you might get in the mail, rather than things that were related to envelopes per say. I imagine junk mail would probably be {veQ QIn}. - SapIr
to'ghogh may mean:- - N:tactics N:voice ----Original message----

I'm thinking it's *ghogh* = /voice/ and then *'ot* sounds like /out./ The /out/ is on the end, opposite the /in/ at the beginning of /invoice. /(Dare I say... it's an /inverse/?) -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

I think it's this way: Which vowel do you find "in" voice = ghogh? Right, it's {'ot}. (reading aloud makes more fun) -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh Grammarian of the KLI http://www.facebook.com/Klingonteacher http://www.klingonwiki.net
