I've been sending Klingon Words of the Day, have they not been getting through?

He means nobody non-automated has been posting.

We got {ra'taj} in KGT: https://hol.kag.org/a/ra%2527taj?o=DevwI3603

But ra'taj is coffee that has had some kind of alcohol added to it, while raktajino is "raktaj" (ra'taj without alcohol) with cream added. It doesn't get a Klingon word because it's not a Klingon food: raktaj and raktajino are borrowed from Klingon culture. And all this is after the fact that ra'taj itself is made from a Klingon-style preparation of coffee, which itself comes from Earth. So the progress of this is: coffee (Earth) --> qa'vIn (Klingon) --> ra'taj (Klingon) --> raktaj (galaxy) --> raktajino (galaxy) If "Trials and Tribble-ations" is to be believed, this complete line of borrowing happened only as late as the 23rd century, some time before the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles."

Wow! No people posting here since February 16 and no wiki posts in February after the fifteenth! (Although I see Lieven broke the latter fast on the first day of March.)

We don't have Klingon words for "fire wine" or "raktajino", as far as I can see. Perhaps Lieven or other people dreaming about TKD3 could bring these up with Marc Okrand.o.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
