: Klingon word:   tlhIl
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition:     mine

The verb {tlhIl} is not attested in canon.

Related words include:

{tlhIl}  mineral (n.) (cf. {nagh} "rock, stone")

{tlhIlHal}  mine (n.) [TKD Add.]

  cha'puj tlhIlHal vISuch vIneH
  I want to visit the dilithium mines. CK 

  tlhIlHal yIngev! 
  Sell the mine! KGT

  tlhIlHal yIngIv! 
  Patrol the mine! KGT

{tlhIlwI'}  miner

Some on this list have wondered whether {tlhIlHal} refers to the mineshaft
only, the operation as a whole - buildings, roads, etc. - or both?  Note that
we also have the noun {'och} "tunnel" which may cover the former.
