Klingon word: tlhut Part of speech: verb Definition: be stuffed Source: qepHom 2019 _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. (qepHom 2019 booklet): {ghoD} is used in reference to food (specifically, in Power Klingon, {to'baj 'uS lughoDlu'bogh} "stuffed to'baj legs", but it could be used for other things as well). {ghoD} is also the word to use for stuffing your backpack or any other sort of pack or sack or suitcase or the like. In other words, {ghoD} is used when the thing you're stuffing (the container) is used to hold or store what you're putting into it. The idea with {tlhut} is not that you're holding or storing or retaining or saving or housing whatever's inside (even if only temporarily, as with the food), but that you're filling something up to attain a specific shape or look (stuffing/filling the skin of a dead animal, stuffing/filling some material to look like a teddy bear). With {ghoD}, the ultimate shape of the stuffed thing doesn't matter; with {tlhut}, it's supposed to matter (though you may be unsuccessful). You wouldn't use {tlhut} for a piñata. (qepHom 2019): use {tlhut} when filling something to achieve a shape or look (e.g. a teddy bear or a dead animal skin); use {ghoD} when putting something into a container (e.g. a suitcase or something to eat) TREK TRIVIA: Molly O'Brien had a favorite toy which she carried: a stuffed plush targ with grey fur and purple hooves called "Piggy". (DS9 "Fascination") Young Alexandra had a white stuffed toy tribble which she carried with her everywhere on the Enterprise-D.
