Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, March 09, 2025 Klingon word: QIncha' Part of speech: noun Definition: Krincha, Krencha, type of animal Source: 'u', paqbatlh, ghunchu'wI' mailing list 2011 _______________________________________________ See http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Krencha *krincha* (type of animal) ('u'-OPERA) *krencha* (Shatner's novel, _The Return_) (PB2 p.156 note): A *krencha* (QIncha') is a type of lizard indigenous to Kronos. (ghunchu'wI', 8/21/11): The English accompanying the opera said "Krincha, short and fierce". I found references to a "Krencha" in several places, including the KLI's Extended Corpus Project and the Memory Beta wiki. It is described as a large, quick lizard native to Qo'noS, variously said to have either four or six legs. I suspect that the opera's author intended to invoke that animal but misspelled its name. (MO's KCD audio): Although {lung} is translated as lizard, it actually can refer to any animal of that general shape, such as a newt or salamander.
