Re: Klingon WOTD: Hu' (v)
: Klingon word: Hu'
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition: get up
: Additional Notes: Opposite of {Qot}.
As used in canon:
yIHu'!
[Get up! (untranslated)] ST3
yIHu'!
[Get up! (untranslated)] ST6
IIRC both of these were said to people lying or sitting on the ground before
they were led away. *{QamchoH} "stand up (become standing)" is possible, what
there is of the canon indicates that {Hu'} is preferred.
Related vocabulary includes {Qam} "stand" and {woH} "pick up"; another opposite
in addition to {Qot} "lie, recline" might be {ba'} "sit".
