Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, March 02, 2013
Klingon word: ngu'
Part of speech: verb
Definition: identify
KGT 105: Similarly, if a Klingon wants to know something, he or she may simply demand that the information be given. For example, a common way to say "Which weapon do you want?" is not as a question at all but instead as a command: {nuH DaneHbogh yIngu'!} (literally, "Identify the weapon that you want!").
jar DamaSqu'bogh yIngu'
What/which is your favorite month? (st.k 12/12/96)
nuH DaneHbogh yIngu'!
Which weapon do you want?" KGT
Daq DaDabbogh yIngu'
Identify the place where you live.
Where do you live? (st.k 7/99)
Perhaps a translation such as "Identify the place that
you live at" or "Identify the place that you inhabit"
is more revealing." (st.k 7/99)
DuHIv jagh Dangu'laHbe'bogh, vaj bIwunchoH 'ej bIpujchoH
Attack by unknown enemy leaves you vulnerable and weak. MKE
