Re: Klingon WOTD: choH (v)
: Klingon word: choH
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition: alter, change
As used in canon:
HIvHe yIchoHmoH!
Alter the attack course! ST5
ghopDu' choHpu' Qe'
The restaurant has altered hands.
[Okrand says that this is a bad, though grammatical, translation
for the idiomatic "The restaurant has changed hands." (KGT)]
Note the homophonous noun {choH} "change" (TKD) or "reaction" (KBOP):
choH lISbogh Hap'e': cha'pujqut
Reaction Moderating Element - Crystalline Dilithium. KBOP
and the derived noun {choHwI'} "thing which alters":
HoS choHwI'
transtator TKD
N.B. Do not confuse either with the Type 3 verb suffix {-choH} "change in
state/direction".
