Re: Klingon WOTD: muD (n)



: Klingon word:   muD
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition:     atmosphere, weather
: 
: Additional Notes:
: Note pun.  "weather" from Okrand's Notes, HolQeD Vol 2. No. 4, and in KGT.  

"The Klingon word for weather meaning the state of the atmosphere, is the same
as the word for atmosphere itself, {muD}. When inquiring about specific weather
conditions at a specific time and/or place, the expression {muD Dotlh}
(literally, 'atmosphere status') is used." (HolQeD 2.4) 

"Unlike most speakers of English, who begin conversations with greetings,
inquiries about the state of health of the conversants, and remarks about the
weather, Klingons tend to begin conversations by simply stating the main
points." (TKD 10)
