Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, July 04, 2019 Klingon word: tlhevjaQ Part of speech: noun Definition: spear thrown with aid of a special tool Source: KGT _______________________________________________ (KGT 64-65): There is ... at least one type of spear, the {tlhevjaQ}, which employs a {chetvI'}, a stick with a hook at the end, as an aid for throwing. There is a single verb, {wob}, that is used to describe the full range of activities involved in putting the spear properly into the spear-throwing aid and using the aid to hurl the spear: {tlhevjaQ wob} ("He/she puts the {tlhevjaQ} into the {chetvI'} and hurls the spear"). In speaking of this type of spear and spear-throwing technique, it is still proper to use the verb {chuH} when talking about throwing the spear at a target. ... The word {chetvI'} refers to both the tool used to help throw the {tlhevjaQ} spear and also a torpedo tube of a particular kind. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
