Klingon word: Somraw Part of speech: noun Definition: muscle _______________________________________________ toH, SomrawDu' Dunqu'! Oh, what wonderful muscles! (ST5 DVD, extra "making of" feature) SomrawDu'Daj teb qajunpaQ His muscles filled with rage (PB) Listed as a "commonly eaten part" of animals (KGT 88) TREK NOTES: The *Somraw* was a Raptor-class Klingon scoutship with a crew of 12 rescued from the atmosphere of a gas giant by the Enterprise in 2151. This is not the same as a Bird of Prey, which were also referred to in the episode. (ENT "Sleeping Targs") The name *Somraw* may come from another Klingon dialect than the one we study. (Apparently 22nd century Klingon has "eighty polyguttural dialects constructed on an adaptive syntax" [ENT “Broken Bow”], Hoshi only updated the Enterprise's universal translator database with seven of them [ENT “Augments”].) Hoshi said that the engine room was called the "reactor pit"; that *quee nagah* means "impulse drive"; that pressure was falling in the *j'khat bah*, the "fusion manifold"; and that *ka'tahl* can mean wall, barrier or hull.
