Re: Klingon WOTD: chIm (v)

ghunchu'wI':
: {naQ} is the wrong kind of "full" to be a good opposite for {chIm}.
: It means "be whole", not "be filled up". For that meaning, I think
: {buy'} "be full" is much more appropriate.
Good point. It's a pain keeping all of my cross references current. Some of
which - as you can see - were made before the release of KGT!
{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 (KBoP)
{buy'} "be full, be filled up" KGT
buy' ngop
The plates are full. KGT
And speaking of being full, related transitive verbs include {teb} "fill" and
{ghoD} "stuff".
