- Thread-topic: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: wovmoHwI'
<< << Klingon word: wovmoHwI'
<< << Part of speech: noun
<< << Definition: light (lamp)
We have two known examples:
telDaq wovmoHwI'mey
Wing Lights (KBoP)
wovmoHwI' moQ
light bulb (TNK)
qunnoQ HoD:
>>> Because (lamp) was added by me to clarify that this is a light source
>>
>> so,it could be used to describe the afterburner of an aircraft too ?
>> or is it only applied to sources of light, used solely for <<domestic>> purposes ?
naHQun:
> Pause for a second and break down the Klingon word (wov -moH -wI')
> What meaning do you get from the word now?
qunnoQ, {wov} "be light, be bright" (v) in canon FYI:
SuD Dargh 'ej wov
The tea is {SuD} and light. (KGT)
SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh
The tea that is {SuD} and light. (KGT)
[i.e. two ways to refer to tea with "a yellowish tinge"]
Qapqu' wovmoHbogh janHommey
It even has working lights! (Hallmark commercial)
["It" was Hallmark's Bird-of-Prey Christmas tree ornament]
