Someone on Star Trek somewhere along the line misinterpreted {ghargh} "serpent, worm" as "serpent worm," a particular kind of worm, and the bad pronunciation gave us {qagh}, which they pronounced like gaH or gagh. But the general word for a creature in the
form of a serpent (like a snake) would be {ghargh}.<span style="color:#888888"><br>
