Klingon word: qo'vID Part of speech: noun Definition: Covid 19 (SARS-CoV-2 disease) Source: qepHom 2020 _______________________________________________ Properly {qo'vID wa'maH Hut}. SEE: (Lieven < MO, 2/27/2021): Maltz thought that {javtIm raS'IS} could be used for vaccine, adding that it's really a shortened form of {javtIm ngeb raS'IS} but, in context, nobody gets confused (except anti-vaxxers). Use of the term {raS'IS} is a holdover from ancient forms of medicine. This noun is typically the object of the verb {SIQ} when you talk about getting or receiving a vaccine. For administering the vaccine, you still hear the verb {poch}, as in {javtIm raS'IS poch Qel}. One could also say {javtIm raS'IS pochmeH Hergh QaywI' lo' Qel}. But it's more common to say simply {javtIm raS'IS Qay Qel}, since, in a medical context, the verb {Qay} normally implies that a {Hergh QaywI'} was involved.
