Klingon WOTD: melchoQ (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Tuesday, May 10, 2005.
Category: Body Parts
Klingon word: melchoQ
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: marrow, bone marrow
Source: KGT (219 KE, 236 EK, 249 EK)
Swedish: märg, benmärg
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 95. A popular effervescent drink, black in color, is called {'awje'}. This is frequently, though not accurately, translated as "root beer," proably because of its superficial resemblance to the Federation soft drink, but it is made from, among other things, the marrow ({melchoQ}) taken from the bones of a {teghbat} ("[teg'bat]"). It is considered relatively mild, even for a Klingon nonalcoholic drink.
