Klingon WOTD: wup (verb)

This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Monday, December 11, 2006.

Category: Music

Klingon word:   wup
Part of Speech: verb 
Definition:     burst into song 
Source: KGT (230 KE, 237 EK) 
Swedish: brista ut i sång


Additional Notes:
KGT p. 77.  Perhaps the most important type of song is the {may' bom}, literally "battle song," which commemorates famous battles and heroic exploits.  It is never inappropriate to burst into song (there is a special verb for this: {wup}) and sing a {may' bom}.  At any social gathering, in addition to eating and drinking, there is no question that there will also be singing.
