Cultural notes:
"The Rite of MajQa is a ritual involving deep meditation in the lava caves of the planet No'Mat. Prolonged exposure to the heat is believed to induce a hallucinatory effect." (ST:Enc.; TNG "Birthright I")
The monastery on Boreth is located above lava caves used for seeking visions of Kahless. (TNG "Rightful Heir")
For the collectors:
Related nouns:
{'och} tunnel
{Qargh} fissure
{ngech} valley
{HuD} mountain
{vaHbo'} lava
Don't confuse {DIS} "cave" with the homophones {DIS} "year (n)" and {DIS} "confess (v)".
