Klingon WOTD: Qap (v)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Thursday, February 7, 2002.
Klingon word: Qap
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: succeed, win
Additional Notes:
From Okrand's Notes, HolQeD Vol. 2, No. 4. " 'To win' a competition is {Qap}. (If it's a decisive or particularly gratifying victory, they'd say {Qapchu'}, even though that's a bit redundant.) In TKD, {Qap} is translated as 'succeed, work, function.' To a Klingon, to win is to function perfectly."
Also in KGT, TKW p. 211.
Opposite of {luj}.
