Klingon word: ngelwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: bait Source: qepHom 2017 _______________________________________________ Nomen agentis of {ngel} "attract, lure" (v): (Felix, 11/13/2017): Appears to mean something like "lure, bait, attract, divert" or "draw (toward / away from)". Interestingly, it's {leng} backwards, which might give some hint as to its meaning. (MO to Lieven, qepHom 2017, p.14 WRT a DSC subtitle]: I think you can use either {tlhu'moH} "tempt" or {ngel} "attract, lure". In either case, I suspect you'd use the {-meH} suffix. It would be something like "... use a spaceship in order to lure/attract/tempt them." {ngelwI'} would be an "attracter" or a "lurer", so that could be the noun bait in this context. Here's Lieven's (non-canon) subtitle from "Into the Forest I Go" pa'vovo' chaH DIngelmeH, 'oH wIlo'. We use it as bait, to draw their flagship away from Pahvo. (DSC) SEE ALSO: ghach lurk, lie in wait, lie low (v) ghoch track, track down (v) nej look for, seek, search for (v) pon persuade, convince (v) Sam locate [seek & find] (v) tlhu' be tempted (v) tlhu'moH tempt (v) von trap, entrap (v) wam hunt (v) -- Voragh tlhIngan nompuq pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
