Klingon word: lIgh Part of speech: verb Definition: ride _______________________________________________ lupwI' DalIghnIS You must ride the jitney. CK CULTURAL NOTES - RIDING ANIMALS (KGT 111): A Klingon *sark* ({Sargh}) is an animal somewhat resembling a Terran horse, both in appearance and in that Klingons (generally individually) often ride on the animal's back. (ghunchu'wI', 8/21/11): The *khrun* [{Hun}] is described in other resources as a Klingon riding animal. Note: this isn't the way we saw it in the draft of the opera. After being reminded that the name of the animal had been given a tlhIngan Hol rendering in Keith DeCandido's book _A Burning House_, Marc Okrand decided to use the already published spelling. The *klongat* {tlhonghaD} is "A beast native to {Qo'noS} that is much larger than a targ and more difficult to subdue. Sometimes used as a riding beast." (_A Burning House_) There is an omnivorous riding animal called a *s'tarahk* mentioned in the novel _Kahless_ by Michael Jan Friedman. The *minn'hor* is an ox-like carnivorous animal used for riding. (_Kahless_) SEE ALSO: SeD drive (a land vehicle) (v) raQpo' passenger (n) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
Add {lIt} "get on(to)" and {lItHa'} "get off", which also work for mount and dismount a riding animal -- at least until we have more information.
