Klingon Word of the Day for Tuesday, March 01, 2022 Klingon word: tej Part of speech: noun Definition: scientist Source: TKD _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. GRAMMATICAL NOTES: (De’vID, 7/26/2019): At the 2014 Saarbrücken qepHom'a' … Okrand made a remark along the lines that, generally, if there's a {QeD}, there's a corresponding {tej}. Sometimes he explicitly reveals a {tej} for a {QeD}, but sometimes he doesn't. (qepHom 2019 booklet): There is a pattern that if there is a {xQeD}, then the {xtej} is automatically correct. {xQeD} and {xtej} are generally written without a space, but there are few exceptions: {DI'ruj QeD} "metaphysics" is two words (as is {DI'ruj tej}). Also, {Hov leng QeD} "treknology" is a made-up word (or phrase) that doesn't come from Klingon culture; it was a one-time translation of a chapter heading in a non-Klingon publication. So Klingons aren't concerned about that one.
