Klingon word: QopmoH Part of speech: verb Definition: wear out Source: TKD (104 KE) _______________________________________________ (KGT 163): The word {Qop} means "be worn out" and is usually applied to old weapons, tools, mechanical devices, and the like." {Qop} is also slang for "be dead" when referring to food animals: (KGT 163): The word {Qop} ... is also used to mean "be dead", but only in reference to an animal that one was expecting to eat live. If a bowl of dead {qagh} (gagh, serpent worms) is placed before a Klingon, the disappointed diner will probably criticize the cook for preparing {qagh Qop} (dead gagh). The normal way to say be dead, referring to a person or animal, is by using the form {Heghpu'} (has died): {Heghpu' SuvwI'} (The warrior has died). It is not appropriate to say {SuvwI' Qop} (dead warrior, worn-out warrior). -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
