lung
lizard
ghargh
serpent, worm
Someone on Star Trek somewhere along the line misinterpreted {ghargh}
"serpent, worm" as "serpent worm," a particular kind of worm, and the
bad pronunciation gave us {qagh}, which they pronounced like gaH or
gagh. But the general word for a creature in the form of a serpent (like
a snake) would be {ghargh}.
