According to my notes, TKD just has "initiation". "Initiation rite" comes from KGT : (KGT 182): One type of occasion on which ritualized speech is heard is the induction ceremony or initiation rite ({muvtay}). For example, in the ceremony to induct new members into the Order of the Bat'leth ({betleH 'obe'}), the highest honor that the government bestows on a Klingon, the presiding official, usually the leader of the Klingon High Council, first reads a name from the {naD tetlh} (Commendation List), always calling out the inductee's name in the most formal way (given name plus father's name, such as {tI'vIS barot puqloD} [T'vis, son of Barot]). -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons ----------------------------------------Original Message---------------------------------------- From: Lieven L. Litaer via tlhIngan-Hol Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2024 3:07 AM I just saw that {muvtay} appeared with {nentay} in the addendum of TKD. But I couldn't find any "initiation rite" in Star Trek. Am I missing something?
