Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, September 01, 2022 Klingon word: po Part of speech: noun Definition: morning Source: TKD (100 KE, 142 EK) This Klingon Word of the Day is brought to you by qurgh (qurgh@kli.org).
Klingon word: po Part of speech: noun Definition: morning _______________________________________________ maj po Good morning! (greeting) (TNK!) Po "A.M." (Paramount's Star Trek Klingon digital watch) (msn.onstage.startrek.expert.Okrand 6/29/1997): {DaHjaj po} "this morning" (lit. today morning or today's morning.) ... Phrases such as {jajvam po} "this day morning" or "this morning" are not common, but they're not ungrammatical either... {wa'leS po} "tomorrow morning", {cha'leS po} "the morning of the day after tomorrow" (literally "two-days-from-now morning"), and so on work quite nicely. SEE: po Ha'DIbaH (type of animal) (n) - (HQ 10.4:5): Another [animal which is particularly noisy at dawn], though not a bird, is the {Qa'}, specifically the {jajlo' Qa'} ("dawn Qa'") ... Makes a particular ruckus at dawn. Maltz said he has also heard the phrase {po Ha'DIbaH}, literally 'morning animal', used to refer to the {'uSgheb}. He thinks {po Ha'DIbaH} has some sort of literary source, since it is used in operas and plays but not often in everyday speech. Maltz supposed that {po Ha'DIbaH} could refer to a {jajlo' Qa'} as well. SEE ALSO: jaj day (from dawn to dawn) (n) jajlo' dawn (n) jajlo’ chum sunrise ("colorful dawn") (n) chuS be noisy (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.
IIRC it was a collectible watch (ca. 1997?) from Paramount called {tlhIngan tlhaq} ("Star Trek Klingon digital watch). According to my notes there were buttons labeled: po “morning” was used for "A.M." pov “afternoon” was used for "P.M." lIS “adjust, moderate" set various display values cher “establish, set up “ set the time display ghum “(sound an) alarm” set the mode annunciator If you search Google for “star trek klingon digital watch” you’ll find a few images.

I had one. I might still have it, but the last time I saw it, it was quite dead, and I think the plastic case had broken so that it no longer held the pin for the strap. If I still have it, it’s in my sock drawer. It was my only watch for a very long time. I wore it out. It was a very “inexpensive” watch in terms of materials; a repackaging of a more conventional display. It had the same LCD as another watch. The silkscreening was the thing that made it Klingon. Now, I wear an Apple Watch SE that I got for free from Intuition, a research group that is doing a 2 year brain health study. If you have an iPhone 8 or newer and are of the age range they are looking for, and are willing to wear one watch for two years and take about an hour’s worth of memory and pattern recognition tests, they might give you one, too: https://www.intuitionstudy.com <https://www.intuitionstudy.com/> I’m pretty sure the Klingon watch is no longer sold… but I bet that somebody could design a Klingon face for the Apple Watch… Maybe even somebody here? pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)

NONE of the images in the links below are of the watch I had. AAAAARGH! I can find my E6B circular slide rule. I can find my old dead iPod Touch.
