Klingon word: meq Part of speech: noun Definition: reason, motive, logical thinking
ram meqmey Motives are insignificant. TKW Klingons may not care whether a falsehood is intentional, but only whether the information is reliable. As Ambassador Kell admonished Worf, "Motives? Who cares for motives? Humans, perhaps." (TNG "The Mind's Eye") (KGT 154): A close standard equivalent is {meq} (reason)--that is, logical thinking. SEE ALSO: meq reason (v) meqba' *mek'ba* (type of legal proceeding: i.e. portion of a Klingon trial or appeal in which evidence is heard during which all evidence must be heard in open council (cf. TNG "Sins of the Father")] (n) ngoQ goal, purpose (n) vIt truth (n) -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
