Klingon word: Qay'mol teSra' Part of speech: noun Definition: puzzle piece (referring to a jigsaw puzzle) Source: qepHom 2018 _______________________________________________ Qay'mol mey teSra' Qay'mol mey Qay'mol teSra' the (puzzle) piece fits (into) the puzzle (qepHom 2018) nelchu' Qay'mol teSra' the puzzle piece fits perfectly (qepHom 2018) SEE: Qay'mol puzzle (n) (Lieven, qepHom 2018): like a jigsaw puzzle or those metal hoops that need to be untangled or any puzzle that involves a physical object or objects that must be manipulated (De'vID < MO, 1/22/2019): When a piece of a jigsaw puzzle fits into the right spot, you can say: {Qay'mol mey (Qay'mol) teSra'} "the (puzzle) piece fits (into) the puzzle". (In this context, you don't have to repeat {Qay'mol}, but it's fine if you do.) Or {nelchu' Qay'mol teSra'} "the puzzle piece fits perfectly". The first focuses on the interlocking of the pieces; the second focuses on the piece in question occupying the identically shaped space where it goes. teSra' tile (n) (Lieven < MO, 12/02/2018): {teSra'} is a piece of a puzzle or a Scrabble game and so on. The difference to the {'echletHom} is basically that a playing card is bendable while a {teSra'} is hard.
