How do you prepare gagh?
Okrand goes into detail in KCD on the distinction between ghargh--which
refers to serpent worms as animals--and qagh--which refers to serpent worms
alive but with seasonings and sauce added, served as food, and which is
never pluralized. Let's go to the canon Nancy...

Hmmm... pubtaHbogh ghargh HIq "boiling worm wine" (PK). Is that:
1. pubtaHbogh gharghHIq "boiling "worm-wine" (worm-wine which has been
boiled or served hot, somewhat like Terran sake)?
2. pubtaHbogh ghargh HIq "boiling-worm wine" (wine that contains a boiled
worm, somewhat like Terran tequila)?
