QuchlIj vIl law' QuchwIj vIl pIm
your forehead is not as ridgy as my forehead. (HQ 13.1:10)
QuchwIj vIl law' QuchlIj vIl puS
my forehead is ridgier than your forehead. (HQ 13.1:10)
QuchlIj vIl law'be' QuchwIj vIl puSbe'
your forehead isn't ridgier than my forehead (HQ 13.1:10)
Cf. {vIlHom} "ridge (forehead)" (n.) (qep'a' 2009)
Qurgh (7/28/09): It was also suggested that {vIlHom} could be a single ridge in a {Quch} [forehead]. ... If [Okrand] didn't suggest it directly, he did affirm in. {vIlHomDu'} was mentioned and {vIlHommey} was compared to being surrounded by Klingons (followed by some laughter). I don't remember if the words came from HoD Qanqor or Marc himself, but they were conversing about it.
Qov ( from Okrand, 8/12/2012):
"The word for screw is {Hut'In vIl}, which is, of course, a ridgy {Hut'In}. Turns out {Hut'In} is the word for nail. Maltz also volunteered that the word for spike is {wIl}."
Do not confuse with:
vIl someone or something one can always find around (n)
vIlle' follower, disciple, fan, admirer, minion (n)
Similar words:
Hab be smooth (v)
beQ be flat (v)
ghegh be rough (v)
tlher be lumpy (v)

Voragh
Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
