Klingon word: quy'Ip Part of speech: noun Definition: vomit Source: HQ v12n4 p.8 _______________________________________________ (HQ 12.4:8): When air (or gas) from the stomach [{burgh}] works its way up and comes out of the mouth (often noisily), one is said to {ruq} "belch". Maltz said it is acceptable to refer to this gas as {SIp}, a general word for gas of any kind, but that gas produced within the body is known as {Qep'It}. When, rather than gas, undigested or partially digested food comes up, one is said to {'em}, vomit, and the matter being vomited, that is, vomit, us called {quy'Ip} … (Maltz was quite amused when he realized that the Klingon word {rech} "exhale" sounded like the English word retch – that is, vomit – but he couldn't explain why he thought it was so funny.) PUN: "puke" - pronounced /p(i)yook/ - backwards TREK NOTES: Because Klingons have redundant stomachs they rarely get nauseous..
