This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Saturday, March 11, 2006.

Category: General

Klingon word:   chab
Part of Speech: noun 
Definition:     invention, innovation (slang) 
Source: KGT (212 KE, 246 EK, 247 EK) 
Swedish: uppfinning, innovation (slang)


Additional Notes:
KGT p. 21: The distinctive pronunciations of the Krotmag dialect are surely responsible for some slang and idiomatic usages in Klingon in general.  For example, a {chab chu'} (literally, "new pie") is another way to say "new invention" or "latest innovation."  This is no doubt because the Krotmag pronunciation of {chab} ("pie") is {cham}, the same as the word for "technology."
   
Homonyms:
	chab (noun) - pie, tart, dumpling
