Klingon word: por Part of speech: noun Definition: leaf (of a plant) Source: KGT, 248 EK (223 KE) _______________________________________________ (KGT 88): a thistle (a flower with dangerously sharp leaves) is a {naHjej} (literally, "sharp fruit") (KGT 94): Experienced cooks will {mIQ} (fry) the {DIghna' por} (*digna* leaf), though this is risky, since if the leaf is heated for too long, it will wilt. (KGT 96): "If plants or animal parts are dried and, if necessary, chopped up before being steeped in boiling water to produce {Dargh}, this preparation is called {Qenvob}. Often, however, there is no {Qenvob}; the tea is made by simply picking thorns, leaves, petals, or seeds off of a plant and immediately immersing them in the water. Usually brackish water ({bIQ na'}) is best. (qep'a' 2018): [{toba'qo}] is just the Federation Standard word; Maltz has heard the phrase {por pur} "inhale leaf", which he assumes is shortened from {por tlhIch pur} "inhale leaf smoke", but he has no idea what kind of {por} "leaf" it might be.
