Voragh:
: << And just what IS the Klingon word for "hole," anyway? >>
:
: AFAIK, there isn't one. Although {luSpet} means "black hole", this word
: cannot be broken down any further - neither {luS} nor {pet} exist as
: separate lexemes (or is it morpheme?). I think the closest we can get is
: {'och} "tunnel". [...]
peHruS:
: {Qargh} is glossed as "fissure". Isn't that a hole? At least a crack.
We also have {mol} "grave", which is certainly a man-made hole, like {'och}.
And qoror reminded us a couple days ago of {DIS} "cave" - a hole in the side
of a mountain or cliff.
