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.
