Klingon WOTD: najmoHwI' (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Saturday, June 24, 2006.
Category: General
Klingon word: najmoHwI'
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: lullaby
Source: KGT (220 KE, 249 EK)
Swedish: vaggvisa
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 77. Among the songs sung exclusively to or by children is the {najmoHwI'} (literally "one that causes one to dream"), or lullaby, and the {Dap bom} (literally, "nonsense song"), which teaches and reinforces Klingon musical patterns, even though the words themselves are, for the most part, meaningless.
