Re: Klingon WOTD: teb (v)



: Klingon word:   teb
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition:     fill

{teb} used in canon:

  HIvje' tIn yIteb!
  Fill a large glass! PK

Related verbs include {buy'} "be full, be filled up":

  buy' ngop!
  The plates are full. KGT

{ngaS} "contain":

  jagh lucharghlu'ta'bogh HuH ghopDu'lIj lungaSjaj 
  May the bile of the vanquished [enemy] fill your hands! PK

  bIQ ngaS HIvje' 
  The cup contains water. KGT

(In context, this last could be translated "The cup is full of water" as {buy'}
seems to be intransitive.)

{naQ} "be full, be whole, be entire":

  cha' choQmey naQ tu'lu' 'ej tep choQ bIngDaq lo' law' bID choQ tu'lu'
  2 Full Decks and a Half Utility Deck under the Cargo Deck (BoP Poster)
