Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, March 08, 2018 Klingon word: jIyweS Part of speech: noun Definition: translation, gloss Source: Email from De'vID _______________________________________________ (De'vID < MO, 2/17/2018): "For purposes of boQwI' [i.e. De'vID's translation program], "definition" would be {jIyweS} "translation, gloss". It's not a definition like in an English-only (or any-language-only) dictionary (that explains/describes a word's meaning); it's a quick tag to give you an idea of what the word means. For "entry", Maltz suggests {ghu'lIS} "item in a list". <...> Neither {Hal} nor {mung} would be "source" in the literary sense (which I take to mean where a particular entry in boQwI' comes from). This would be {nompuq} "authority, evidence, attestation, reference, citation".
