This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Friday, December 9, 2005.
Category: Food
Klingon word: Hurgh
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: pickle (cucumber) [picked {peb'ot}]
Source: TKD (89 KE, 146 EK)
Swedish: pickels (gurka)
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 93. It is also not unusual to {HaH} ("marinate") or {roghmoH} ("ferment") various sorts of {naH} ("fruit, vegetable"). One common dish is a torpedo-shaped fruit called {peb'ot}, which is soaked in a {chanDoq} ("marinade"). The fully marinated {peb'ot} is called {Hurgh}. Experienced cooks will {mIQ} ("fry") the {DIghna' por} ("[digna] leaf"), though this is risky, since if the leaf is heated for too long, it will wilt.
Homonyms:
Hurgh (verb) - be dark
