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.
