Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, July 26, 2021 Klingon word: jonwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: engineer _______________________________________________ (TKD, intro to the word list): Sometimes one member of a set may be partially analyzed. For example, {jonta'} "engine" begins with {jon}, which is also found in {jonwI'} "engineer}, and ends with {ta'}, which also occurs in {mIqta'} "machinery." (MO to Lieven, 1/09/2012): "Words for bricklayer, roof maker, plumber, and so on are all based on the verb {mutlh}, meaning "construct, assemble, put together". Someone who does this, then, is a {mutlhwI'}. […] The idea is that a {mutlhwI'} puts things together.
