Thread-topic: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: DuH

> Klingon word:   DuH
> Part of speech: verb
> Definition:     be possible
 
Used in canon once AFAIK:

  yIntaHvIS qIrq DuHbe' roj 
  There will be no peace as long as Kirk lives. (ST5 notes)

Synonym: {qIt} "be possible" - never used in canon AFAIK.  (Do either of these appear in the {paq'batlh}?)

Note the homophonous noun {DuH} "possibility, option" and the verb suffix {-laH} "ability".
