&gt; [...] {jejHa&#39;} [dull] really means something like &quot;de-sharpened&quot;).<br>

As a parallel, it might be interesting to know (maybe just a coincidence) that the german word for &quot;hot, spicy&quot; (referring to food) is literally the same meaning as &quot;sharp&quot; (describing knifes).<br>

So maybe Klingons enjoy eating spicy food?<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div>It&#39;s also interesting how language helps form perception. Long ago, a professor of German took me to task for describing spicy food as &quot;heiß&quot; (&quot;hot&quot;), instead of &quot;würzig&quot; (&quot;spicy&quot;).(The word &quot;scharf&quot; didn&#39;t come up then, though it would have been helpful as a cognate to &quot;sharp&quot; as in cheese.)<div>
