Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, August 05, 2017
Klingon word: cheq
Part of speech: verb
Definition: tornado
Source: qep\'a\' 24 [2017]
One of the brand-new weather verbs.
IIRC "storm like a tornado" is another translation given.
(qurgh < MO, qep'a' 2017): You can also say {ver SuS'a'} "a tornado happens" (literally: "the big wind spirals"). {ver SuS} (or {ver SuSHom}) would most likely refer to a whirlwind.
SEE ALSO:
jev storm (v)
vung storm like a hurricane/cyclone (v)
ver be spiral; be dizzy (v)
vIH be in motion (v)
SuS wind, breeze (n)
SuS'a' strong wind (n)
SuSHom wisp of air (n)
rewve' air (everyday word) (n)
muD atmosphere (n)
bImaw''a'? Duvuv SuS DaneH'a'?
Are you crazy? Do you want the wind to respect you?
(i.e. What's with you? Are you an idiot?) (KGT 122)
