Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, May 15, 2023 Klingon word: yuQjIjQa' Part of speech: noun Definition: United Federation of Planets _______________________________________________ Note the synonym {yuQjIjDIvI'}. AFAIK neither has been used in a sentence; Klingons seem to prefer the shorter {DIvI'} "federation". Has Maltz ever explained the difference between the two, other than the obvious of one being a type of {Qa'} while the other a type of {DIvI'}? We know of four examples: yuQjIjQa' United Federation of Planets qarDaSQa' Cardassian Union tuqjIjQa' United Kingdom 'amerI'qa' SepjIjQa' United States of America Is {Qa'} a (long-term?) political union while {boq} refers to a (temporary or short-term?) alliance, block, or coalition? De'vID, is {Qa'} - or for that matter {boq} - used in the 2nd edition of the paq'batlh? -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from recent qep’a’mey or qepHommey. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.

No, but {boqwI'mey} is used for "allies" (the {-mey} suffix is used because they are all over {Qo'noS}). -- De'vID
Thanks. I should have checked more carefully as I already had it in my notes: Qo'noSDaq boqwI'mey / nejmeH je leng qeylIS / 'ej chaHvaD lut ja' Kahless also went out to search / For allies across Kronos, / And told them his tale. [PB (i.e. 1st ed.)] This sounds like Kahless is seeking individuals -- i.e. not gangs, cities, states, etc. -- correct? Does it occur only the one time?

It says only what you quoted above, and does not mention any sort of grouping of allies. The word occurs only once. btw you can download the ebook (in PDF format) of the paq'batlh 2nd edition here, for free: https://punctumbooks.com/titles/paqbatlh-the-klingon-epic-2nd-edn/ -- De'vID
