Klingon word: SorHa' Part of speech: verb Definition: speak metaphorically Source: qep'a' cha'maHDIch from Okrand to Schoen _______________________________________________ (Qov, 7/29/2013): [Okrand] appears to agree that this implies {Sor} means "speak literally", and that this is connected to the expression {lugh: Sor rur} ["correct as a tree"]. The pun with sure appears from his reaction to be intentional. (qurgh, 5/16/2016): I can tell you the pun ({Sor}) is one Okrand really likes, and it's not on the word "sure". I can't give any more, as I've been literally sworn to secrecy. PUN: (Michael Kunin, 5/16/2016): {Sor} -> shore -> littoral -> literal -> speak literally? SEE ALSO: jatlhHa’ say the wrong thing, misspeak (v) pabHa’ misfollow (the rules), follow (the rules) wrongly (v) rev quote (v) vIt tell the truth (v) nep lie, fib (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.
