Klingon word: taqmoH Part of speech: verb Definition: scar Source: qep'a' 24 [2017] _______________________________________________ (qep'a' 24 New Words): 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'}." <https://www.kli.org/activities/qepmey/qepa-chamah-losdich/qepa-chamah-losdic... > SEE: taq be scarred (v) mIvwa' scar (result of a wound, regardless of how the wound occurred) (n) 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) SEE ALSO: pe' cut (v) Haq perform surgery (on) (v) QID wound (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
I was updating my files just now with the Klingon dialogue from the latest DSC episode "Si vis pacem, para bellum" when I noticed a relevant exchange for today's WOTD: KOL: lIr'el, Du'arghHa'moH mIvwa'. The scar is an improvement, L'Rell. L'RELL: SanDIy 'oH. vItuQmo' jIHem. Earned in battle. I wear it with pride. --Voragh ------------------------------Original Message------------------------------ From: Voragh Klingon word: taqmoH Part of speech: verb Definition: scar Source: qep'a' 24 [2017] (qep'a' 24 New Words): So if you have a scar that you got in a fight, that could be either a {mIvwa'} or a {SanDIy}.
