I always assumed {jev} was a weather term since in ST3 - the movie Okrand
created the language for - the Genesis Planet is wracked with storms, rain
and snow. He created several weather and geography terms in case he needed
to use them at the last minute. But since Klingons don't talk much about
the weather, we never heard them on screen. <g>
