Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, February 08, 2025 Klingon word: Hoghjaj Part of speech: noun Definition: anniversary measured in weeks Source: The Little Prince (TLP) _______________________________________________ (TLP): Maltz said there is a way (actually, several ways) to refer to an anniversary, which he characterized as a specific day on which one recognizes or remembers an event that occurred a set amount of time ago on that same date. The 'set amount of time' could be a year (what most people think of when they think of anniversary), but it could be another unit of time: a month or a week. DISjaj: anniversary measured in years (the two-week anniversary of the day someone quit smoking, perhaps) jarjaj: anniversary measured in months (the three-month anniversary of starting a new job, say) Hoghjaj: anniversary measured in weeks (the two-week anniversary of the day someone quit smoking, perhaps) A one-year anniversary would be {DISjaj wa'} or {DISjaj wa'Dich} (Maltz had no preference). And so on. Maltz says that he's heard expressions like {tupjaj}, which is presumably an anniversary measured in minutes - the 10-minute 'anniversary' of someone not talking, maybe. He said this is a form of wordplay, not a 'real' word, but people do say things like this. TLP: Example of use: chaq qaSmo' DISjaj...? Because tonight is the anniversary...?
