Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, June 04, 2022 Klingon word: Soj Part of speech: noun Definition: matter, concern, affair (idiomatic) Source: HQ v10n4 p.5, QelIS boqHarmey _______________________________________________ (HolQeD 12.3 p.9): All this talk of pseudohonor and nonhonor logically led to a discussion of honor itself, normally expressed by the nouns {quv} and {batlh}, both usually defined as simply honor. When asked to distinguish between the two, Maltz said, "{tlhIngan Soj 'oH — not bIyaj}," literally, "It is Klingon food — you will not understand," using {Soj} "food" in its idiomatic sense of "matter, concern, affair". (Klingon Alice, p.239): The idiomatic meaning of the verb {Soj} can also be used to express the idea of “mind your own business.” In these sentences, it means concern, that is, something of interest or importance to someone.
