Re: Klingon WOTD: yotlh (n)
: Klingon word: yotlh
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition: field (of land)
Never used by Okrand in a Klingon sentence, but he did mention it in passing in
KGT (p.89):
Agriculture (Satlh) is practiced to a certain extent, though it
is common to gather uncultivated plants as well... The verb {yob}
(harvest) is used to refer to gathering up plants or plant parts,
whether from a field (yotlh) that has been sown or out in the
wild. The verb meaning "farm" is {wIj}; that meaning "plant"
(referring to vegetation of any kind) is {poch}.
Other types of fields to keep in mind include {che'ron} "battlefield" and
{chem} "energy field".
