Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, February 26, 2021 Klingon word: chIvo' Part of speech: noun Definition: total dishonor, absolute lack of honor Source: Star Trek Into Darkness, qepHom 2013 _______________________________________________ potlhmo' batlh, vIqawba'. 'ej chIvo' neH chIw vum'e'. Because you care about honor. And this man has none. STID SEE: (HQ 12.3:9): Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, {DavHam}, which he defined simply as "false honor", but which really covers the same semantic ground as both {HoQ} and {Qaq} (but not really {mIl}). {DavHam} is different from {quvHa'ghach} "dishonor" (noun) in that the latter does not imply seeming to be honorable or the appearance of honorability, but rather the lack of or loss of honor." SEE ALSO: quvHa'ghach dishonor (n) batlhHa' dishonorably (adv) qal be corrupt (v) GARAK: It's the honorable thing to do." WORF: You use that word, but you have no idea what it means. GARAK: Perhaps not, but you do. [DS9 "In Purgatory's Shadow"] -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from the last year or two.
