Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, June 03, 2022 Klingon word: Se'tu' Part of speech: noun Definition: saucepan Source: TalkNow - Learn Klingon!, revealed 30 September 2011 _______________________________________________ (MO to qe'San, 11/02/2011): I haven't talked with ***** about saucepan, but here's what I was thinking. The picture is, as you say, a little pot (or pan) with a single handle, which is exactly what a saucepan is […] {'un} is any sort of pot or pan, so the picture is a picture of a {'un} (though lots of other pictures might also be used for {'un}). A {nevDagh} has two little handles on it, so the picture is not one of a {nevDagh}. Thinking a bit more about it, perhaps {'unHom} would have been better--or at least more restrictive. Or maybe there should be a new word. Like {Se'tu'}. (qe’San, 11/2011): Although you may not want too many words for a pot there is a story behind this word which comes about from recording too little information about a word so Marc and myself had a discussion on pot words if you want call it an argument or a "set-to" which Marc finished by offering the new word. -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.
