Klingon word: 'och mutlhwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: plumber Source: Marc Okrand, Email 01/09/2012 _______________________________________________ (MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012): "Regarding plumber - It turns out there is a special word for water pipe (not what you use for smoking - the kind that carries water from place to place): {qatlhDa'}. Though one could say {qatlhDa' mutlhwI'} and be understood, the normal way to refer to someone putting in pipes (for water or anything else) is {'och mutlhwI'}.
