Hol ghojwI'pu':
A Trek fan (with copious memory) to the rescue.
>bireQtagh N bregit_lung* breathing set? excised animal lung?
I think it's a disease.
>qevaS N kevas what is this?
>Dilyum N trillium mineral or what?
In the episode whose name escapes me, but which involves Kirk and Spock
being trapped on Organia when the Klingons invade (at the beginning
of a Federation-Klingon war), Spock poses as "a Vulcan trader in kevas
and trillium". Obviously commodities of the future.
>Hergh_Qaywi' N [hypo|pneumatic_hypo]* hypodermic syringe or what?
>Herghwi' N [hypo|pneumatic_hypo]* hypodermic syringe or what?
The little air-hypos ("hyposprays") that all the doctors use on Star Trek
instead of needles to inject things are "pneumatic hypos".
>pipyuS N pipius* what is this?
Not sure.
>qeli'qam N kellicam what is this?
A unit of distance. In _ST3_ when Kruge's ship is approaching the
Enterprise cloaked, Maltz reads off the decreasing ranges in "kellicams".
>Qi'tu' N Paradise* a planet? or a religious concept?
Probably the Klingon paradise (a religious concept) mentioned in
_ST5_. "Vortavor" was the Romulan paradise, I think.
>ro'qegh'iwchab N rokeg_blood_pie* what is a rokeg?
The only mention is in the TNG episode "Family", when Worf's mother mentions
it was one of his favorite dishes as a child. ("With Worf, _everything_ had
to be Klingon. I had to learn to make Rokeg Blood Pie!" When she asks Worf
if he needs anything later, he asks if she could make him some of her
Rokeg Blood Pie.)
>targh N targ* what is this?
Not sure.
>toplin N topaline is this a mineral?
Yes. Probably mentioned in a TOS episode.
>Dom N radan (crude_dilithium_crystal) (He <does> explain this entry)
I think this is mentioned in a TOS episode dealing with the Klingons,
where they were trying to gain the confidence of a planet's leaders so
they could mine the crystals. (Perhaps "Elaan of Troyius"? or maybe
"Friday's Child".)
When, in TNG, is a "veqlargh" (a type of demon) mentioned? Are they
represented in Worf's holodeck calisthenics program?
