Klingon word: muylIS Part of speech: noun Definition: eyelash Source: qep'a' 24 [2017] _______________________________________________ (qurgh & Shelly, 8/01/2017): During a game of the Hokey Pokey, [Okrand] pointed to his eyelash, thus revealing that {muylIS} is "eyelash". (Shelly, 8/07/2017) : Someone asked in Federation Standard if he meant eyelash and he nodded. (ghunchu'wI', 8/07/2017): The lack of a word for eyelashes had been brought up during an earlier brief conversation about hair -- body, head, facial, etc. Even if he hadn't said so explicitly, it would have been obvious that it's what he meant. PUN: *cilium* (i.e. Latin for eyelash) backwards SEE ALSO: mIn eye (n) Huy' eyebrow (n) lur pupil [of eye] (n) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
