Klingon WOTD: pogh (n)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Wednesday, May 24, 2000.
Klingon word: pogh
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: glove
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 58. A warrior's glove, also made of skin, had wide bands around the wrist and sharp protrusions at the knuckles. If there was a special name for these protrusions, it is lost; they are now called simply {DuQwI'mey} ("spikes"). The gloves did not have fingers. They were designed to protect the palm, back of the hand, and wrist, but not to interfere with the mobility of a warrior's fingers. Modern gloves generally adhere to this design.
