Klingon word: yuv Part of speech: verb Definition: push _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. (KGT 76): To finger the {may'ron} [ie. accordion, concertina ] -- that is, to push the buttons -- is to {Heng} (KGT 113): The verb {bI'} ("sweep") refers to the action of pushing something out of the way by using an implement or the forearm as if it were a broom. (KGT 115): During the course of a bout, both parties … alternately lunge (jop), that is, push the bat'leth toward the opponent, and deflect (way'), or use the bat'leth to push the oncoming one away. SEE: yuvtlhe' lid, cover, cap (n) - PUN: based on the instructions on child-proof medicine bottles: push (yuv) while turning (tlhe') SEE ALSO: 'uy press down (v) vo' propel (v) ghoS thrust (v) luH yank (v) raQ manipulate by hand (v) nItlh 'echlet keyboard (n) leQ switch, button (n) - (Lieven, 11/16/2014 < qepHom 2014): And a [computer] mouse is a {'eQway'} … could have a {leQ} "button" (but more generally "switch") and it usually has two (a {poS leQ} and a {nIH leQ}, "left button" and "right button" respectively) … To "click" one of the buttons is to {'uy} "press down" (even though the action is really to press down and then release). To say to "click" on a link, for example, the verb {wIv} "select, choose" is used rather than {'uy}. -- 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.
Back when I started learning Klingon, I could always remember this word by imagining a Klingon commander yelling clipped commands, “Ready? PUSH!” SSSS, yuv! That sounds a lot like, “Shove!" pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
