Klingon word: HovQeD Part of speech: noun Definition: astronomy Source: The Little Prince [TLP] _______________________________________________ An unofficial word finally made official along with {Hovtej} "astronomer" (who uses a {Hov tut}). (Okrand, TLP): Maltz says the most common way to say telescope is {Hov tut}. He thought that was sort of an everyday or layman's term – maybe even slang – and that astronomers called it something else... but he didn't remember what that was. {yuQQeD} "geography" and {yuQtej "geographer" were also revealed in TLP: (Okrand, TLP): The meaning of {yuQ} must have changed over the years. Now it means planet, but maybe it originally meant something else, something along the lines of "place/location where we live." SEE: Hov star (n) Dejpu'bogh Hov collapsed star (n) Hov leng Star Trek (PN) Hov tut telescope (n) TLP HovpoH stardate (n) Hovtay' star system (n) SEE ALSO: chuq'a' leghwI' space telescope (n) Ha’bIl chuq’a’ leghwI’ Hubble Space Telescope (n) (JWST) (Okrand to Lieven, 12/02/2018): {chuq'a' leghwI'} refers to a very big telescope that consists of a lot of technology, such as the Hubble space telescope. It's not the kind of telescope you hold in your hand. -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey.
