Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, February 28, 2021 Klingon word: qorghwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: stopper, cork (for a bottle) Source: qepHom 2013 _______________________________________________ (MO interviewed by Lieven, 11/12/2013): So the cork is the 'thing which does close the hole (of the bottle)' … (IMO, HQ 8.3): The word for top is {yor} ... It is not the word used for lid or cover or cap (as in lid of a jar) or removable (and reusable) top of a box. The word for this kind of top or lid or cover is {yuvtlhe'}." PUN: cork SEE: qorgh stop up, fill a hole (v) (MO interviewed by Lieven, 11/12/2013): {qorgh} is to "stop up, to fill a hole". You can stop up a hole, but not fill it in with dirt. That would be {teb}. {qorgh} is to stop up an opening somehow. It's like filling in, and not put stuff inside. So the word for the cork is a {qorghwI'}. qorghwI' pacifier (qep’a’ 2016) (qurgh, 7/22/2016): Maltz said this is not a Klingon thing, but he's seen human babies use these.
