Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, August 19, 2019 Klingon word: tova'Daq Part of speech: noun Definition: mind sharing _______________________________________________ It is "a moment of clarity between two warriors on the battlefield; much is said without the need for words". (DS9 "Soldiers of the Empire") (KGT 204): Thus, Federation Standard has no word meaning the same as Klingon {tova'Daq}, a sort of mind sharing or insight into one another's thoughts (KGT 207): [...] there are some words that simply do not translate. One must resort to descriptions rather than simple one- or two-word translations, and one must be a quite facile in the language and knowledgeable of the culture to understand the concepts. The Klingon notion of sharing of minds noted above, {tova'Daq}, is an example of such a word. SEE ALSO: Duj instincts (n) qajunpaQ courage, audacity (n) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
