Klingon word: cha''etlh Part of speech: noun Definition: two-blades Source: Talk Now! [TNK] _______________________________________________ I only know it as part of a noun phrase: cha''etlh pe'wI' scissors (n) (TNK ) cha''etlh DaSwI' tweezer (n) (qep'a' 2020) (qep'a' 2020): This is considered singular (that is, several pairs of tweezers are {cha"etlh DaSwI'mey}). The word was formed by analogy to {cha"etlh pe'wI'} "scissors", with {DaS} "pinch" replacing {pe'} "cut". TREK NOTES: "Truth, Doctor, is in the eye of the beholder. I never tell the truth because I don't believe there is such a thing. That's why I prefer the straight-line simplicity of cutting cloth."
