Klingon word: Du' Part of speech: noun Definition: farm _______________________________________________ (KGT 89): Agriculture (Satlh) is practiced to a certain extent, though it is common to gather uncultivated plants as well. Fruit or vegetables that come from a farm (Du') are called either {naH} alone or {Du' naH} ("farm fruit or vegetable" or "produce"); the wild variety is termed {naH tlhab} (literally, "free fruit or vegetable"). The verb {yob} (harvest) is used to refer to gathering up plants or plant parts, whether from a field (yotlh) that has been sown or out in the wild. The verb meaning farm is {wIj}; that meaning plant (referring to vegetation of any kind) is {poch}. One may say ... {naH poch} ("He/she plants fruit or vegetables"), referring to the ultimate use of the plant as a food source. A {HurqIq} is a "fruit grown on Klingon farms. The {qorvIt} is a "rodent that eats through plants, commonly found on Klingon farms, where farmers have set traps for them." [(Keith R.A.
