Klingon word: mu' qunQeD Part of speech: noun Definition: discipline of studying word histories Source: qepHom 2024 ____________________________________________________________________ From: sustel trimboli.name via tlhIngan-Hol Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2025 9:05 AM Probably best translated with the word "philology," now a woefully underrepresented study. ____________________________________________________________________ AFAIK neither were used in a sentence. SEE: mu' qun etymology (n) qepHom 2024 "The origin and development of a word or another aspect of a language" (qepHom 2025 REQUEST) (Lieven, 11/15/2013): Marc Okrand explained how he made up the words in the creation of TKD: He had a chart of possible combinations where he could just "choose" a random word and give it a definition. He first thought if that word "sounds okay" for what it might mean, and sometimes he also paid attention if the word should follow a pattern, as the words for speech all start with {ja-}. As you can read in the interview, MO likes to think about a word for a long time if he likes to have a pun in it, but sometimes he might just look at his list of un-used syllables and pick one from there. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
