Klingon word: lab Part of speech: verb Definition: transmit data (away from a place) _______________________________________________ labbeH (The device) is ready to transmit data. (TKD) HablI', Su': labbeH. Ready to transmit. (ST3) (ghunchu'wI' [date?]): May be a command to her computer: "Data transceiving device, attention: prepare to transmit." (ghunchu'wI' [date?]) My interpretation of Valkris' line in ST3 as a command to the data-transceiving device ... was confirmed. Apparently the subtitle 'Ready to transmit' is not very good... When I mentioned to Okrand at qep'a' loSDIch that I thought that this was in the form of a `pet command', he said it was a valid interpretation.] labmeH 'evnagh Se' lo' tlhIngan QumwI' A Klingon communicator sends a signal through subspace radio. (S19) Marc Okrand jIH. De' potlh vIlab. I am Marc Okrand and I bring you an important message. ('U'-MTK) ghe'naQ Daqvo' QInvam wIlab. We will place a homing device transmitting this message at the site of the opera. ('U'-MTK) PUN: "lob" (throw gently from one place to another) [source?] SEE: lI' transmit data (to a place) (v) - De' yIlI'. DaH! Transmit data. Now! (ST3) - vIlI'lI' I am transmitting (the data). (TKD 42): This word implies that data are in the process of being transmitted, but that there is a finite amount of data, so there will be a definite end to the transmission. The fact that the verb {lI'} and the suffix {-lI'} are identical in sound is purely coincidental, so far as can be determined. - yIlI' transmit it! (TKD) (TKD 16): {yIlI'} "transmit it!" can sound more like {yIlI'ghI}. This extra-heavy echo is heard most often when the speaker is particularly excited or angry.
