Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jech

> Klingon word: jech
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition: disguise, costume

Cf. the homophonous verb {jech} "disguise".

Neither used in canon.

Cultural notes:

KGT 4:  a Klingon, though not predisposed to deception, may, if necessary or potentially beneficial, disguise his or her identity by imitating the speech of a member of another group.

TKW 145:  when a warrior dies, his spirit appears, whereas prior to death it was hidden or disguised by the body.
