Re: Klingon WOTD: Daj (v)




>Klingon word:   Daj
>Part of Speech: verb
>Definition:     be interesting

As used in canon:

   tlhIngan yoH Daj verengan yoH qetlh
   The Klingon is braver than the Ferengi (slang) KGT

N.B. using {Daj} "be interesting" vs. {qetlh} "be dull/uninteresting" is a 
rhetorical variation of the standard {law'}/{puS} comparison formula.  (Cf. 
KGT pp. 178ff. for details.)
