Re: Klingon WOTD: Dach (v)

: Klingon word:   Dach
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition:     be not attentive, be distracted
: 
: Additional Notes:
: KGT.  To lack focus. (slang)

The standard, non-slang meaning of {Dach} is "be absent"; it is the
opposite of {SaH} "be present (not absent)".  

Actually, all three WOTD definitions are slang.  The label "(slang)"
appears after the last gloss in the KGT glossary to save space, but applies
to all three as they are merely English variants of the same idea.  The
standard meaning "be (physically) absent" evolved into a slang term meaning
"be (mentally) absent".

None of these verbs have been used in a sentence by Okrand.
