Klingon WOTD: ngep'oS (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Sunday, December 17, 2006.
Category: General
Klingon word: ngep'oS
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: stairs, stairway (except at ship door) (regional)
Source: KGT (222 KE, 258 EK)
Swedish: trappa, trappuppgång (utom vid skeppsdörr) (regionalt)
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 29: For example, the word for "stairs" or "stairway" in most of the Empire is {letlh}. One type of {letlh} is a {choghvat}, the stairway leading to and from the doorway of a ship. In a couple of dialects in the Mekro'vak ({meqro'vaq}) region, however, {letlh} refers only to the stairway connected to a ship, while {ngep'oS} is any other kind of stairway but not one used to enter or exit a ship.
Synonyms: letlh
