ghuy'cha'! DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. I'd run the search for "to
snow" on my own database, and it would seem that {peD} slipped through the
net when I was compiling it. Thanks for picking that up...
So, to modify: If it snows on Qo'noS, as the presence of {peD} may indicate,
it might be reasonable to assume that there are at least two "seasons" in
the minds of Klingons, even if they are just "cold" and "hot".
As usual, we'll have to wait...
