Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, December 09, 2020 Klingon word: QaplaStep Part of speech: noun Definition: spool, reel, spindle Source: qep'a' 27 [2020] _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. (qep’a’ 2019): [{weSjech} "fabric, cloth, textile"] can be used for textiles or fabric in clothing, sheets, towels, and so on, but generally not for carpets or rugs (except for thin ones). (Okrand to De'vID, 10/2014): [Maltz] said there is a word perhaps best translated as "weave" and that he has heard of using sticks when doing a certain kind of weaving, but he didn't know a name for that other than weaving. (There are apparently other types of weaving also.) The word for "weave" (verb) is {nIq}. For the sticks used when doing whatever this weaving technique is, he's only heard {Hut'Inmey tIq}. SEE ALSO: SupDIng cotton-like plant (n) - "a Klingon plant, parts of which are used to make cloth" (qep'a' 2020) weSjech fabric, cloth, textile (n) Sut clothing (n) paSrIq fabric used in carpets and rugs [not for clothing] (n) tlhIm carpet, rug, wall hanging, blanket (n) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Feel free to mention any relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or so which I’ve missed. I’ve fallen woefully behind in updating my files.
Just a reminder about Klingon syllable boundaries. Remember to say this word as {Qap-laS-tep} and not *Qa-pla-Step*. Klingon doesn’t start syllables with consonant clusters. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

{Qap}, {laS}, and {tep} are all words. Surely there's a pun here? -- De'vID
