(0) What information is there about what 'ermey and Qa'mey are like? What
episode or whatever do they occur in?
(1) The "Kahless" book named these new species of Qo'noSian animals:-
cob'lat = a big predatory animal? ("cob'lat's share" seems to mean "lion's
share" p140)
kraw'za = a species of black carrion-eating bird p43 (pl. kraw'zamey)
minn'hor = a species of domestic & wild animal like an ox, pulls the plough,
makes milk p43 (pl. minn'hormey)
pherza = a species of stinging wasp p61,p271 (makes wax p152)
s'tarahk = a species of riding animal p22 (pl. s'tarahkmey p24) [Is this the
same as the "sark" mentioned in a Star Trek encyclopedia that I have?]
yolok = a species of worm p94
(2) The "Kahless" book p64 says "sneaking about like {p'tahkmey}". This means
that the original root meaning of {petaQ} (rather than as a general insult)
may have been some sort of furtive person or animal.
