Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, January 29, 2021 Klingon word: Hey Part of speech: verb Definition: battle or fight against one's own group (not the supposed enemy) Source: Star Trek Into Darkness, qepHom 2013 _______________________________________________ toH, Hey Humanpu'. qatlh DISaH? Why should I care about a human killing humans? (STID) From a mispronunciation of {Hegh} "die" (De'vID, 11/20/2014). (KGT 47): In addition to these general terms, there are a number of specific words relating to specific types of battle or engagement. First of all, there is a set of verbs that can each be translated "clash with", "encounter", "engage", and the like, but these translations do not make the differences between the words clear. They are differentiated by degree, ranging from something like "struggle in a minor skirmish" to "engage in a major melee". Arranged in ascending order of ferocity, they are: {Qor, tlhaS, vay, lul, Hargh}. If Klingons engaged in shadowboxing, {Qor} might be appropriately applied, while {Hargh} would be reserved only for situations approaching Armageddon. SEE: Qor fight, battle (very minor fight) (v) tlhaS fight, battle (relatively minor fight) (v) vay fight, battle (midlevel ferocity) (v) lul fight, battle (relatively major fight) (v) Hargh fight, battle (major confrontation) (v) SEE ALSO: Suv fight (v) HIgh fight dirty (v) Sol quarrel (v) vID be belligerent (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from the last year or two.
