Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, September 24, 2022 Klingon word: pab buv Part of speech: noun Definition: part of speech Source: Email from De'vID _______________________________________________ (De'vID < MO, 2/17/2018): {pab buv} is good for part of speech. (TKD 51): By far the bulk of Klingon words are nouns and verbs. There are a few others which, probably as an expedient, Klingon grammarians lump together in a group called {chuvmey} leftovers. It is possible to classify the {chuvmey} some-what." [ i.e. pronouns (TKD 5.1), numbers (TKD 5.2), conjunctions (TKD 5.3), adverbials (TKD 5.4), exclamations (TKD 5.5) and names (TKD 5.6) ] (Captain Krankor, "{'Iv} and {nuq} as Pronouns", "The Grammarian's Desk", HQ [issue?]: p.24–25): Remember, categories such as pronoun, question word, adverbial, and the like are convenient classification added by Terran scholars. Klingon grammarians classify all such words as {chuvmey}, leftovers. So, {jIH}, {SoH}, and {maH} are the same type of words as {'Iv} and {nuq} and it would seem completely reasonable for them to behave similarly.
