Klingon word: mIjDang Part of speech: noun Definition: fin, flipper Source: qep'a' 28 [2021] _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. SEE: rewve' mIjDang fan, handheld fan (n) SuS mIjDang fan, handheld fan (n) joqmoH wave a fan [or anything else] (v) bIQDep fish, sea creature (n) ghotI' fish (n) nIwqen gill (n) Qal swim (v) (Lieven, 11/01/2015): Marc told me [at qepHom 2015] the following, said with my own words: First, a {ghotI'} is a true fish, the animal that children would draw if they hear the word "fish". A {bIQDep} covers most animals that live in the sea. Marc gave as possible examples "dolphins, whales, fish, octopus" but he said it's not used for shrimps or even smaller animals like water bugs. When asked for a seal, he said that a seal or a sealion does not really live IN the water, so that's probably not a {bIQDep}. Every {ghotI'} is a {bIQDep}, but not every {bIQDep} is a {ghotI'}. "That is a *fish* you are holding!!" [a shocked Worf to Riker, TNG "The Icarus Factor"] -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
