&gt;<br>
&gt; Klingon word: ngeQ<br>
&gt; Part of speech: verb<br>
&gt; Definition: bump into, run into, collide with<br>
<br>
KGT 157f.:  The word [{paw&#39;}] literally means &quot;collide&quot; and is usually (though hardly exclusively) heard when referring to vehicles. In both its literal and slang usages, {paw&#39;} takes a plural subject ... {paw&#39; lupDujHommey} (&quot;The shuttlecraft collide&quot;). To refer to a something in motion colliding with something stationary, a different verb, {ngeQ} (&quot;bump into, collide with&quot;) is used, as in {raS ngeQ tera&#39;ngan} (&quot;The Terran bumps into the table&quot;). When the subject of {paw&#39;} is persons, the most common interpretation of the verb is the slang one-that is, butt heads. ... When the subject of {paw&#39;} is anything other than persons, the most likely interpretation is the non-slang one, collide. If one wanted to say that two persons collide but not imply that they butt heads, the verb {ngeQ} would probably be used along with the suffix {-chuq} (each other) as in &quot;ngeQchuq tera&#39;nganpu&#39;} (&quot;The Terrans collide with each other&quot;).<br><br></blockquote></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">My modeling blog:          <a href="http://bellerophon-modeler.blogspot.com/"; target="_blank">http://bellerophon-modeler.blogspot.com/</a><br>My other modeling blog:  <a href="http://bellerophon.blog.com/"; target="_blank">http://bellerophon.blog.com/</a><br></div>
