Klingon word: rItlh 'echlet Part of speech: noun Definition: ink pad Source: qepHom 2015 p.19 _______________________________________________ Lieven Litaer interviews Marc Okrand (posted 10/29/2015) : MO: A stamp (rubber stamp, a tool/device, not postage stamp) is a {toqwIn}. To use a stamp, you ink it up and then you {Dut} it (slam [it] down). The word for ink is {rItlh}, and the ink pad is called {rItlh 'echlet}. The image that results from using a rubber stamp is {yang}. LL: When you ink it up, do you simply {Dut} it into the {rItlh 'echlet}? MO: Yes, but there is a way to say that you're applying ink. To "ink up" a rubber stamp is to {laS} it. This verb is also used to refer to putting paint on a {rItlh naQ}. Maltz said that there's a slang term for this action also: {pID}.
