Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, July 29, 2024 Klingon word: pujwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: weakling _______________________________________________ pujwI' HIvlu'chugh quvbe'lu' There is no honor in attacking the weak. TKW (KGT 152): This word [{Hom}] literally means bone, but its slang usage is no doubt influenced by the noun suffix {-Hom}, a diminutive that adds a meaning of smallness or lack of importance... There are a number of standard counterparts to {Hom}, such as {pujwI'} (weakling), {langwI'} (one who is thin), and {runwI'} (one who is short). TREK NOTES: When Seven of Nine was "possessed" by the personality of the Son of K'Vok when a Borg vinculum--the device which connects and processes the thousands of disparate minds on a Borg cube--was infected with a virus and malfunctioned, she says to B'Ellana, "You wear the uniform of a Starfleet {pu-cha}." (VOY "Infinite Regress" [actor's attempt at {pujwI'}??) SEE: puj be weak (v) pujmoH weaken (v) puj weakness (n) PB SEE ALSO: Hom weakling, runt, scrawny one, skinny one (slang) KGT -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
