QeS 'utlh:<br>

> [2] Opinions on {ngogh'a'}?</p>
<p>Do you mean on {Borg ngogh'a'} for "Borg cube", or just {ngogh'a'} for "cube"?</p>
<p>I don't think "cube" when I read {ngogh'a'}, just a big block (i.e, something with six faces, two perpendicular to each 3-D axis, but not necessarily equal in size). That may be sufficient to express the idea. I don't know my Borg all that well, is it important that it's a cube because the cubes serve a special function? Are they the command ships? Are they larger than the others? If the shape isn't the important point but the role is, maybe it's a {Borg Duj'a'}? But if the shape matters, then try something with {meyrI'}, like {Borg meyrI ngogh'a'}? </p>
<p>Without knowing the Klingon word for "cube" (or how Klingons name 3-D shapes in general), anything that gets across the salient characteristic of a Borg cube, whatever that is, will do. </p>
