Klingon WOTD: ghab (noun)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Wednesday, May 17, 2006.
Category: Food
Klingon word: ghab
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: meat from midsection of animal
Source: KGT (214 KE, 250 EK)
Swedish: kött från djurs mittdel
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 27: The word {ghab}, however, which refers to any chunk of the midsection of an animal, has slightly varying meanings depending on region. In most of the empire, including the First City, {ghab} is rather inclusive: basically, whatever was chopped off the animal as a single piece, with or without bones or internal organs.
KGT p. 87. Large animals are usually chopped into pieces, sometimes with attention paid to which piece is which (thus a {tIq} ["heart"] might be served as a dish in its own right), sometimes not (the {ghab}, for example, is just a chunk of the midsection of an animal, including any organs that may have remained attached after the carving).
