Klingon WOTD: mum (verb)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Monday, March 14, 2005.
Category: Food
Klingon word: mum
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: taste, sense flavors
Source: KGT (220 KE, 256 EK, 260 EK)
Swedish: smaka, känna smak
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 86. The verb {mum} ("taste") means "sense flavors." To say {Soj vImum} ("I taste the food") is to say "I perceive a flavor or flavors," not "I try out the food to see if it is prepared properly." This latter meaning of "taste" is expressed by the verb {waH}, which can also be used more generally to mean "try out, test, use experimentally."
