Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, February 05, 2021 Klingon word: pIvyoch Part of speech: noun Definition: a rather pungent Klingon beverage Source: qep'a' 26 [2019] _______________________________________________ (qep’a’ 2019): In the TNG episode "Heart of Glory", the Klingon ordering food and drink (from the food replicator) says he wants {'o'mat ghIrI'}, which is some sort of meat and pasta-like concoction. Then he specifies that the fat in the food should be boiled, one of the optional ways to prepare this dish. He says {tI'Im!} "boil (the fat [in the entrees])!" He uses the prefix {tI-} because there are three separate entrees. Finally, he orders a special, rather pungent Klingon beverage known as {pIvyoch}. In the subtitles (or someone's transcript) his food order was rendered as *O'Mat Gri T'M pffiots*. BTW, how do we know that {pIvyoch} is "rather pungent"? I'm sure most Klingon food is by human standards. <g> -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from the last year or two. I’ve fallen behind in updating my files and adding cross-references for related words.

I’m guessing that this pungent drink has chocolate flavoring, spiced with enough punch that after a shot of it, one can’t quite make it through the statement {pIv yuch} without reflexively altering mouth movements sufficient to change {u} to {o}. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.
