>3. 'IwtIq'a'mey - TKD lists {bIQtIq} as "river". {'IwtIq'a'mey}, "great
> rivers of blood", is a bit of very Klingon imagery.
When I first read this I thought "eeww" (no pun intended).
We have canon from PK:
'Iw bIQtIqDaq bIlengjaj
May you travel the river of blood.
But then I thought about this a little more...
(*** We are not aloud to simply create new words, especially NounVerb. But
this is still interesting....)
bIQ and 'Iw are both liquids;
and using 'IwtIq eliminates that bIQ which we know klingons consider "weak".
Interesting. And good imagery.
