Klingon word: majyang mutlhwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: tiler Source: Marc Okrand, Email 01/09/2012 _______________________________________________ (MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012): Words for bricklayer, roof maker, plumber, and so on are all based on the verb {mutlh}, meaning "construct, assemble, put together". Someone who does this, then, is a {mutlhwI'}. [...] The idea is that a {mutlhwI'} puts things together. ... If you did say {tlhIm mutlh} ("he/she assembled a carpet"), that would mean there were pieces of fabric (or squares of carpet?) that got put together (sewn together?) to make a carpet or rug.
