Re: Klingon WOTD: Duy' (n)
: Klingon word: Duy'
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition: defect
Not attested in canon.
Cf. the homophonous verb {Duy'} "be defective".
N.B. One must enunciate the glottal stop clearly so as not to confuse these
words with {Duy} "agent, emissary" or {Duy'a'} "ambassador." E.g.:
Duy''a' ghaH?
Is s/he defective?
Duy'a' ghaH.
S/he is an ambassador.
Related verbs include {Hutlh} "lack, be without, to not have". Possible
antonyms include {pup} "be perfect" and {naQ} "be full, be whole, be entire".
