I would not understand it in that meaning. I would understand either a huge
kind of worm (something living in the deep sea or something) or a very
large serpent, like an anaconda or boa. That was also the kind I used this
word for. For a small snake like a viper it wouldn't probably be suitable.
But a snake-like dragon? Nah.

Someone on Star Trek somewhere along the line misinterpreted<br>
{ghargh} "serpent, worm" as "serpent worm," a particula=

worm, and the bad pronunciation gave us {qagh}, which they<br>
pronounced like gaH or gagh. But the general word for a creature<br>

{ghargh'a'} doesn't mean "more snakey snake." I would=

ragons usually pictured in Dungeons & Dragons art I would call a {lung&=
