KGT SuvwI' ghung law' qagh ghung rap the warrior is as hungry as gagh (HQ 13.1:10) (Lieven, qepHom'a', 11/15/2011): I asked if there were a word for "satisfied, I'm full", i.e. you had eaten enough. MO said no, but accepted {ghungHa'} for "not hungry any more". You cannot use it though to say that you are not hungry, that should be {ghungbe'} "not hungry". But if you are hungry first, then you eat enough, then you can say {DaH jIghungHa'} "Now I am un-hungry" (= "not hungry any more"). It also works with {'oj} the same way. SEE ALSO: Sop eat (v) noS eat in small mouthfuls, nibble (v) 'oj be thirsty je' feed (someone else) (v) natlh use up (v) qur be greedy (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons [Feel free to mention any relevant vocabulary or usage notes from the last year or so which I’ve missed. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my notes. ]
