Klingon WOTD: pu' (n)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Sunday, April 20, 2003.
Klingon word: pu'
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: phaser
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 56. The more general term {pu'}, "phaser," may also apply to the Klingon disruptor, but it is used just as often to refer to the Romulan disruptor, Federation phaser, and other similar devices. Since the word is short, {pu'} is heard frequently--even more frequently than {nISwI'}. Despite the prevalence of the {pu'} words, in the strictest sense, the correct names for all of these weapons are the {nISwI'} forms.
See also {nISwI'}.
