Klingon word: DenIbya'ngan Part of speech: noun Definition: Denebian Source: TKD:E-K _______________________________________________ (KGT 141-2): Occasionally, and no doubt owing to influence from Federation Standard, from which names, as noted, are often taken, an extra syllable, {-ya'-}, comes between the planet name and {ngan}. Thus, Denebian -- that is, an inhabitant of one of the Deneb planets -- is both {DenIbngan} and {DenIbya'ngan}. The planet name itself is also heard in two forms: {DenIb} (formed from the name Deneb) and {DenIbya'} (formed by dropping the {ngan} from {DenIbya'ngan}). (KGT 141-2): The planet name itself is also heard in two forms: {DenIb} (formed from the name Deneb) and {DenIbya'} (formed by dropping the {ngan} from {DenIbya'ngan}). The syllable {ya'} seems to be used as if it were a suffix meaning place name. (Lieven < MO, 12/11/2018): Actually, In TKD, {DenIb} and {DenIbya'} are both glossed Denebia. But that's an error. The planet name in English is Deneb, not Denebia. But this coming-and-going {-ya'} thing crept its way into the English side of the dictionary somehow. {HIvqa' veqlargh!} The Klingon, however, is correct: there are two versions of this name. The star is also known as Alpha Cygni; the home planet of the Denebians is specifically Deneb V (cf. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Deneb_V ) SEE ALSO: DenIb Qatlh Denebian slime devil (TKD K->E) DenIbya' Qatlh Denebian slime devil (TKD E->K & SAREK) TREK NOTES: MUDD: Do know what the penalty for fraud is on Deneb Five? SPOCK: The guilty party has his choice: death by electrocution, death by gas, death by phaser, death by hanging. MUDD: The key word in your entire peroration, Mister Spock, was “death”.
