This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Tuesday, December 5, 2006.
Category: General
Klingon word: boq
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: ally with
Source: HQ (9:3 p8)
Additional Notes:
HolQeD 9:3 p. 8, {matlh jup mu'mey}. "4 + 3 = 7" would be {wej boq loS; chen Soch} (literally, "four allies with three; seven forms"). For subtraction, the suffix {-Ha'} "undo" is attached to {boq} producing {boqHa'}, literally "dis-ally" or "dissociate from." Thus, "4 - 3 = 1" would be {loS boqHa' wej; chen wa'} (literally, "three dissociates from four; one forms").
Homonyms:
boq (noun) - alliance
boq (noun) - bloc, coalition
