As used in canon:

   pImlaw' romuluSngan be' porgh
   I've heard Romulan women are different. (ST5 notes)

   {'Iw HIq} ("bloodwine") is served warm to hot (best is {porgh Hat}
   --body temperature, though it is not clear whose body)... [KGT 95]

We have two brand-new terms from Maltz in the current issue of "HolQeD" 
(12.4):  {porghQeD} "the scientific study of bodily functions" (anatomy?) 
and {porgh mIw} "bodily function" (literally, "body process").

N.B.  Don't confuse {porgh} with {lom} "corpse" and {ro} "torso", both of 
which can sometimes be called "bodies" in English.
