Klingon word: SommI' Part of speech: noun Definition: tool, implement, instrument Source: qep'a' 25 [2018] _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. (TKD 9): There are certainly more Klingon words than those listed here. Three groups of words in particular are, for the most part, unrepresented: scientific terminology; words for native tools, customs, flora, and fauna […] Klingon words for traditional tools and long-standing customs are difficult to translate into English. (KGT 79-80): In addition to the specialized tools, any blade ({'etlh}), even if designed for other purposes, may be used as a sculpting tool. Kahless himself is said to have used his *bat'leth*, the original "Sword of Honor," to carve a statue for the woman he loved, presumably Lukara. (KGT 61): By the same token, a blade not designed as a weapon may be used as a weapon if need be, though to be attacked by a warrior wielding something that is normally classified as a tool is considered by some to be an insult to one's honor.
