Is the animal {Suy'} equivalent to the terran pig ? Meaning, as I would use {qovIj}/{ngavyaw'} for "dog", can I use {Suy'} for "pig" ? ~ cxcxcxx

I would guess so. /Sooey/ is traditionally what you say to call a pig. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/sooey?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
ok, thanks. But what is the "shooy", which was given as the definition of {Suy'} ? Because I m-w'ed it, and didn't get any results.. Is it just how we would call in fse, the animal klingons call {Suy'} ? ~ bnbnbnn
You didn’t find it because a *shooy* is just a phonetic rendering of {Suy’}, an imaginary Klingon animal. SuStel wrote:
