Klingon WOTD: QI'tu' (n)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Friday, May 23, 2003.
Klingon word: QI'tu'
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: Paradise
Additional Notes:
TKD Addendum. KCD: In Klingon mythology, this was the source of all creation.
STE defines it as the source of all creation in Klingon mythology. However, the TKD addendum adds the additional meaning of "paradise." {QI'tu'} would appear to have the same place in Klingon mythology as the Judeo-Christian concepts of Eden and Heaven. The difference between {QI'tu'} and Sto-Vo-Kor (the Klingon mythological afterlife where Kahless waits for the honored dead) is still not fully understood (ST5, "Rightful Heir" [TNG]).
