Re: Klingon WOTD: 'Ib (n)



>Klingon word:   'Ib

>Definition:     tub

KGT makes clear that this kind of tub is used in food fermentation, not
for bathing.  Interestingly, the wording in KGT is "...a {'Ib}...", and
not "...an {'Ib}..." -- the {'} gets full consonant status, even though
it doesn't change the "a/an" distinction when pronounced for an English
word.
