Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, June 19, 2021 Klingon word: HuS Part of speech: verb Definition: hang _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. CULTURAL NOTES: "Traditional clothing worn in battle, known as {Hip}, the word currently used to mean uniform, had both a protective function and a more utilitarian one, since it was from the clothing that weapons (nuHmey) or ammunition ({nIch}) could be hung." (KGT 57) "A skin belt ({qogh}) both held pants ({yopwaH}) in place and provided a place from which to hang weapons or weapon holders." (KGT 58) "As this word [{ghIgh}] literally means necklace, perhaps the slang usage is based on the old practice of identifying one's position within a military unit--for example, one's assignment on a ship--by means of a symbol hung on a chain worn around the neck." (KGT 150) SEE ALSO: vel cover, coat, mask (v) no' DIr ancestor hanging (n) N.B. {HuS} is also a female Klingon name: e.g. {HuS 'atrom puqbe'} Huss, daughter of A'trom [KGT 197]. -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary from the last year or two.
