Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, October 11, 2020 Klingon word: Dop Part of speech: verb Definition: be opposite, antithetical, contradictory Source: Email from Lieven 2018-08-01 _______________________________________________ (Lieven < MO, 1/08/2018): For parallel universe, I’d go with {'u' quq}, using {quq} "happen simultaneously, be simultaneous". {quq} is okay for "parallel" (in this sense). Just as a parallel universe can't exist by itself (there has to be a universe - presumably ours - that it's parallel to), a simultaneous universe can't exist by itself. In both cases, you can refer to one universe at a time - you don't always have to mention both (or several). For mirror universe, I suggest {Dop} "be opposite, antithetical, contradictory" (yes — this is a new word). If they're not making a real distinction between parallel and mirror (that is, if they're using the words interchangeably), I'd stick with {quq}. (qep’a’ 2019): Use {Dop} to create negative numbers. {wej Dop} "minus three" or "negative three" SEE: DopmoH cause to be opposite, reverse (v) (DevID < MO, 2/10/2018): To sort [{patlhmoH}] a list of English words alphabetically (or reverse alphabetically), use constructions like {wa’DIch a}, {HochDIch z} or {wa’DIch z, HochDIch a}. For a list of Klingon words, it would be {wa’DIch bay, HochDIch qaghwI’, wa’DIch qaghwI’, HochDIch bay}. And to the question of whether *{yoymoH} could be used for reversing a list, [Okrand] replied: "No. Use {DopmoH} "cause to be opposite."
