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.
