Klingon WOTD: SuH (excl)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Tuesday, April 12, 2005.
Category: General
Klingon word: SuH
Part of Speech: excl
Definition: ready, standing by
Source: TKD (108 KE, 148 EK, 154 EK)
Swedish: var redo!, jag är beredd!
Additional Notes:
TKD p. 57. {SuH}, {Su'} and {'eH} all mean that the speaker is about to give a command. They are comparable to the "Ready!" at the beginning of a race: "Ready! Set! Go!" {SuH} and {Su'}, but not {'eH}, can also be used to indicate that the speaker is ready to do something or that arrangements have been made for something to happen. Some speakers of Klingon pronounce {SuH} as if it were {SSS}, almost like the English expression for "be quiet": 'shhh!'
Synonyms: Su', 'eH
