Klingon Word of the Day for Tuesday, April 07, 2026 Klingon word: 'alghuQ Part of speech: noun Definition: bastard, illegitimate child Source: qep'a' 28 [2021] _______________________________________________ The request for this word was: "an illegitimate child, a child born out of wedlock" (qep'a' 2021) AFAIK not used in a sentence. This may not be an insulting epithet, but merely one's legal status WRT inheritance rights, especially among the "great families". (Compare British "by-blow".) Of course, with Klingons pretty much anything can trigger a duel. <g> SEE: puq child (n) tlhogh marriage (n) SEE ALSO: ghu baby (n) ghubDaQ first-born child (n) vum contemptible/despicable person, scumbag, bastard (n) (epithet) petaQ all-purpose Klingon insult (n) (epithet) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
I dearly hope this is not a reverse-reference to my favorite Klingon: Qugh la’. pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
