I wonder if =ABSIrgh=BB might not be more appropriate. =AB'ul QaymeH SIrgh=
=BB for a power wire, maybe =ABjabbI'ID SIrgh=BB for data lines...
Of you're looking to translate "electrician", there is yhe canonical =AB'ul=
pat mutlhwI'=BB ("electricity system assembler", sort of).
Perhaps somebody who works with electrical systems but whose main task is n=
ot assembling them would be an =AB'ul pat jonwI'/tej/leHwI'/loHwI'/pIn=BB.

Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] Cable, Thread, Wire, Web
Wondering about how to describe the word "wire" into Klingon, I found mysel=
f thinking *baS tlhegh* /metal line/.
The word tlhegh naturally led to *tlhegh'a'* for /cable, hawser,/ *baS tlhe=
gh'a'* for /metal cable, hawser/ and *tlheghHom* for /thread, strand./
But then I ran up against /web./
Perhaps *tlheghHom jonwI'* could be what I'm looking for?
Further: has anyone translated "silver?" I want to use the phrase "silver c=
ord."
