I just noticed that {ngogh} is given as "block, lump, brick". So, because of its "lump" meaning, perhaps it's a good choice in order to express "tumor". ~nIghma'

Maltz/Okrand defined ngogh as “a block or lump or brick” and I assumed the general shape was a rectangular solid – which is what they often are in North America -- but we don’t really know what blocks and bricks look like on Kronos. Considering their fascination for triangles and sets of three, Klingons may well think of something pyramidical. Even the example of ngogh tun doesn’t help as we’ve seen plenty of exotic triangular pillows on Trek! That being said, I still think tlhoQ a better choice. --Voragh From: tlhIngan-Hol [mailto:tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org] On Behalf Of mayqel qunenoS On Oct 16, 2017 17:09, "Voragh" wrote: mayqel qunenoS:
