Klingon WOTD: tungHa' (verb)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Saturday, June 11, 2005.
Category: General
Klingon word: tungHa'
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: encourage
Source: TKD (110 KE, 130 EK)
Swedish: uppmuntra, stödja, främja
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 71. Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} ("He/she enjoys [the] music") or {bom tIv} ("He/she enjoys the song"), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}), excite ({SeymoH}), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire ({pIlmoH}).
