Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, January 29, 2022 Klingon word: wep Part of speech: noun Definition: shirt with sleeves (regional) _______________________________________________ ghIH wep the shirt is sloppy/disheveled (qep’a 2021) Soy' wep the shirt is sloppy/disheveled (qep’a 2021) (KGT 29-30): In the First City, and in most places in the Empire, {wep} means "jacket, coat" and {yIvbeH} means tunic -- that is, a shirt or shirtlike garment with or without sleeves. In the Vospeg ({voSpegh}) region, on the other hand, {yIvbeH} refers only to a sleeveless shirt (thus retaining much of the word's original meaning, a sleeveless protective garment worn by warriors), {wep} means a shirt with sleeves, and any jacket or coat is a {cheSvel}, a word that elsewhere refers to a specific style of coat associated with, not surprisingly, the Vospeg region. (qep’a 2021, in re {paSlogh tuQ DaS} "be inside-out"): Maltz thought there might be a single word for this, but he could only remember this commonly used idiom. In usage, this might be preceded by something like {ghIH wep} (or {Soy' wep") "the shirt is sloppy/disheveled” (Lieven, 12/07/2010): [Maltz] thought more about it and said … The word {buq} could be bag, sack, pouch or even pocket. When clarity is needed, one could say, for example, {yopwaH buq} "pants pouch" or {wep buq} "coat pouch" for "pants pocket" or "coat pocket," but when the context is clear, {buq} alone would suffice for pocket.
