Klingon WOTD: gham (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Friday, January 21, 2005.
Category: Body Parts
Klingon word: gham
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: limb (of an animal)
Source: KGT (215 KE, 248 EK)
Swedish: lem, kroppsdel (på djur)
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 42: The archaic words tend to come up in conversations about food. For example, the usual word for the leg of an animal, when prepared as food, is {gham} ("limb"), the same word used for the leg of the living animal. A leg served as food at a banquet in an upper-class household, however, is likely to be called a {HaJDob}, an old word for "limb."
KGT p. 88, as food.
