This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Wednesday, May 7, 2008.

Category: Animals

Klingon word:   po Ha'DIbaH
Part of Speech: noun 
Definition:     morning animal 
Source: HQ (10:4 p5) 
Swedish: 


Additional Notes:
HolQeD 10:4, p. 4: {matlh juppu' mu'mey}.  Makes a particular ruckus at dawn.  Maltz said he has also heard the phrase {po Ha'DIbaH}, literally "morning animal," used to refer to the {'uSgheb}.  He thinks {po Ha'DIbaH} has some sort of literary source, since it is used in operas and plays but not often in everyday speech.  Maltz supposed that {po Ha'DIbaH} could refer to a {jajlo' Qa'} as well.
