Re: Klingon WOTD: vut'un (noun)
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 27: For example, while a large, flat-bottomed pot usually called a
{bargh},
in some regions it is a {vutmeH 'un} ("pot for preparing [food]"),
sometimes shortened to simply {vut'un}.
Synomyms: bargh, vutmeH 'un
"In some regions, a {bargh} made of metal is a {mIv} (which also means
'helmet', even though, historically speaking, helmets are not necessarily
made of metal), or a {mIv bargh} ('helmet pot'), while a ceramic {bargh} is
called a {chor} (literally, 'belly') or {chor bargh} ('belly pot')." (KGT
p.27-28)
Another type of small pot with V-shaped handles {DeSqIvDu'} is the
{nevDagh} (cf. KGT p.97)
