Klingon WOTD: qagh (n)



This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Sunday, May 18, 2003.

Klingon word:   qagh
Part of Speech: noun
Definition:     serpent worm

Additional Notes:
TKD Addendum

Unlike {ghargh}, this noun refers to the specific variety of serpent worm considered a delicacy on {Qo'noS}.  Using {ghargh} to refer to {qagh} is not incorrect, but would be like referring to escargot as snails, or caviar as fish eggs; while technically correct, it isn't as refined or cultured ("A Matter of Honor" [TNG]).
