Klingon word: rech Part of speech: verb Definition: exhale Source: HQ:v12n4p8 _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. (HQ 12.4:8): Air, for example, comes into and out of the nose or mouth. 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}. … (Maltz was quite amused when he realized that the Klingon word {rech} exhale sounded like the English word "retch" – that is, vomit – but he couldn't explain why he thought it was so funny.) SEE ALSO: ruq belch (v) Hob yawn (v) tlhov wheeze (v) jev wheeze (v) chuy sneeze (v) largh smell, sense odors (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey.
