Klingon WOTD: Qaj tlhuQ (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Monday, November 20, 2006.
Category: Food
Klingon word: Qaj tlhuQ
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: type of food, [kradge] tail
Source: KGT (225 KE, 243 EK)
Swedish: ett slags mat, ~kradge~svans
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 94. If a dish with a standard preparation technique (a {nay' motlh}, "usual dish") is being offered, asking how it is to be prepared is a demonstration of cultural ignorance. Thus, in addition to [pipius] claw, questions about {bIreQtagh} ("[bregit] lung"), {targh tIq} ("heart of [targ]"), {raHta'} ("[racht]"), {tlhImqaH} ("[zilm'kach]"), and {Qaj tlhuQ} ("[kradge] tail") should be avoided. On the other hand, asking whether the {quD} is naturally produced ({burgh quD}) or the artificially produced type ({'un quD}) or specifying whether one prefers {tlhatlh} ("[gladst]") with or without sauce shows both knowledge of and interest in Klingon cuisine.
