Klingon word: naHnagh Part of speech: noun Definition: pit (of fruit) Source: KGT:p89 _______________________________________________ (KGT 89): Klingons typically gnaw ({choptaH}--literally, "continue biting") on the nut until it cracks open, and then they spit out ({tlhIS}) the pieces of shell (occasionally at a nearby diner, as a gesture of sociability) before chewing and swallowing the rest. Similarly, they will usually gnaw on the hard pit of some fruits ({naHnagh} -- literally, "fruit stone") until it can be chewed and swallowed, but it is not considered out of place to treat the pit as a shell and spit out the pieces. SEE: naH fruit/vegetable (n) nagh rock, stone; ceramic material (n) SEE ALSO: yub shell (of fruit, nut) (n) yub husk, rind, peel (n) naHlet nut(s) (n) nagh DIr shell (of an animal) (n) pel'aQ eggshell (n) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two.
