Klingon word: qorghwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: pacifier Source: qep'a' 23 _______________________________________________ (Lieven < MO, 11/12/2013): So the cork is the "thing which does close the hole (of the bottle)" {qorgh} is to stop up, to fill a hole. You can stop up a hole, but not fill it in with dirt. That would be {teb}. {qorgh} is to stop up an opening somehow. It's like filling in, and not put stuff inside. So the word for the cork is a {qorghwI'}. (qurgh, 7/22/2016): Maltz said this is not a Klingon thing, but he's seen human babies use these [i.e. pacifiers] PUN: "Put a cork in it!"
