You know, that's weird! I've always perceived {bIQtIq} as the 'water
heart', as rivers somehow pump the water through the countries or something
like that. I always thought, how poetic! I never realized it could've been
simply 'long water' (how profane!).

I wonder if this might be a sign into how Marc Okrand viewed the<br>
construction of words from more basic parts early on in the language's<=
br>
development (or, if you like, how early Klingons constructed words).<br>
{bIQtIq} *seems* to be the construction "long water", and {bIQ=
9;a'}<br>
*seems* to be "big/grand/important water". Of course, {bIQtIq} mi=
ght<br>
also have been "water's heart", or perhaps the last part'=
s just a<br>
coincidental homophone with no relation to any word {tIq}.<br>
<br>
Some related words for {tIq} are {woch}, {'ab}, and {'aD}.<br>
