tuq l'maSto'r Y'jImbotlh-wa'maH asks:
: I am working on an electronic TKD to help me with translating back and
: forth. So far I am up to mughato' from the TKD Klingon-English side.
: Just what is a "mugato" that mughato' is tlhingan for?
Sustel answers Edy Fonseca:
: > nuq mughato''a' (?)
: A mugato is the big, white, hairy beast which bit Kirk in "A Private Little
: War."
Additional data from _The Worlds Of The Federation_:
"One of the more notable native animal forms on Neural (Zeta Bovtis III) is
the mugato, a large, white, ape-like creature with dorsal spines and a
cranial horn. The mugato are monogamous, mating for life. Little or no
provocation will spark an attack by this hostile creature, whose bite is
highly poisonous and fatal if untreated. The only antidote for the mugato
bite is the proper application of the native mako root, which has the
ability to draw the toxin out of the human nervous system."

Dictionary" maintained by the Klingon Language Insitute at:
