Klingon word: ghIgh Part of speech: noun Definition: assignment, task, duty (slang) _______________________________________________ (KGT 150f.): As this word literally means necklace, perhaps the slang usage is based on the old practice of identifying one's position within a military unit—for example, one's assignment on a ship—by means of a symbol hung on a chain worn around the neck. On the other hand, it may be based on the idea that assignment to a specific task holds one in that position as if by means of a line around the neck. The usual nonslang word for assignment, mission is {Qu'}. PUN: a "gig" is a musician's or actor's job of work SEE: ghIgh necklace (n) SEE ALSO: Qu' duty, assignment, mission (n) yaH duty station (n) ngoy' be responsible (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
