Klingon word: wIl
Part of speech: noun
Definition: spike
Source: (email to Qov, 13 august 2012)
_______________________________________________
(Qov < Okrand, 8/13/2012): The word for screw is Hut'In vIl, which is, of=
course, a ridgy Hut'In. Turns out Hut'In is the word for nail. Maltz also =
volunteered that the word for spike is wIl.
PUNS:
1. William Pratt ("Spike") was a recurring character on the TV series Buffy=
, the Vampire Slayer.
2. Nine Inch Nails is an American industrial rock music project, founded in=
1988.
RELATED WORDS:
(KGT 61): A spike is a DuQwI' and the small spikes on the d'k tahg are usu=
ally called DuQwI'Hommey (little spikes).
(KGT 58): A warrior's glove (pogh), also made of skin, had wide band aroun=
d the wrist and sharp protrusions at the knuckles. If there was a special n=
ame for these protrusions, it is lost; they are now called simply DuQwI'mey=
(spikes).
(KGT 58): On the toe of each high boot (DaS), likewise made of animal hide=
(DIr), was a clawlike spike called a pu'. The word pu' now means phaser, a=
nd the newer meaning probably developed from the older spike because of the=
lightning speed with which one delivered a blow with the sharp pu'. In con=
temporary Klingon, the spike on the toe of a boot is always called a DaSpu'=
(boot spike), never pu' alone.
(KGT 67) : Included in this category is the ghanjaq, often translated as m=
ace, a club with a metal head, sometimes sporting spikes (DuQwI'mey).
