Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, July 16, 2023 Klingon word: jorneb Part of speech: noun Definition: warhead (of a torpedo) Source: KGT:E-K _______________________________________________ AFAIK not used in a sentence. Note that it was (mis)spelled {jornub} in the Klingon-English glossary to KGT. (KGT 56): The warhead of the torpedo is called its {jorneb} (which seems to contain the verb {jor} [explode] but is otherwise not analyzable). (Qes, 6/27/2007): No longer, I suspect. In HolQeD 10:4, pp. 4-5, where we are given vocabulary connected with birds, we are given the noun {neb} "beak, bill of a bird"; I find the idea of a torpedo or missile as a bird of prey diving at its target beak-first to be a rather apposite metaphor. SEE: jor explode (v), jorwI' explosive; bomb MKE (n) SEE ALSO: ghuS be prepared, ready (to launch) (v) chu' engage, activate (a device), turn on (v) Either of these verbs might do for "arm" a warhead" prior to launch. -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey.
