Re: qIvon
|qoror here. Just wondering... has Okrand ever made any clarification on
|what a qIvon might be? MSN, for instance?
Star Trek CONTINUUM: KLINGON COMPENDIUM
(From the KLINGON DATA BASE)
QiVon
Klingonese word (pronounced "KEE-von") for an object of anatomy, apparently
coming at least in pairs: Kor's left QiVon aches whenever his ship hits
Warp-Factor 8. (Reference: Blood Oath)
That's all MSN has to say about tlhIngan qIvonDu'.
bIrchugh qIvon tuj 'Iw
"If the qIvon is cold, the blood is hot."
"It is not clear what a qIvon is, aside from the fact that it is a Klingon
body part, so the real meaning of the saying is a little obscure." (Marc
Okrand, TKW p. 174)
Indeed.
