{SanDIy} was also used in the same episode (and yes, this too is non-canon): SanDIy 'oH. vItuQmo' jIHem. [The scar is] Earned in battle. I wear it with pride. (DSC "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum") --Voragh -----Original Message----- From: Voragh (Steven Boozer) Klingon word: mIvwa' Part of speech: noun Definition: scar (result of a wound, regardless of how the wound occurred) _______________________________________________ Non-canon use in Discovery: lIr'el, Du'arghHa'moH mIvwa'. The scar is an improvement, L'Rell. (DSC "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum") SEE ALSO: roptoj scar (result of some sort of disease, infection, etc.) (n) SanDIy scar (result of a wound received in the course of fighting/battling) (n) Difference explained on https://www.kli.org/activities/qepmey/qepa-chamah-losdich/qepa-chamah-losdic... : So if you have a scar that you got in a fight, that could be either a {mIvwa'} or a {SanDIy}. If you don't know whether someone's scar resulted from a wound or a disease, it's probably safest to go with {mIvwa'}. If the person's scar is actually a {SanDIy}, he/she will, under most circumstances, clarify this for you. If it's a {roptoj}, he/she may let the 'misdiagnosis' slide since, as we all know, {ropchoHbe' tlhInganpu'.} -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
