>Klingon word: SoQ
>Part of Speech: noun
>Definition: speech, lecture, address
Used in canon:
SoQ Dajatlh
you speak an address/lecture
(or, more colloquially, "you deliver an address" or "you make a speech")
[st.k 6/97]
qama'pu'vaD SoQ Dajatlh
you make a speech to the prisoners. [st.k 6/97]
Referring to parts of a speech:
For an opera, play, story, speech, and so on, the final portion
is its {bertlham}. This word usually refers to the last aria or
other musical portion in an opera, last speech in a play, last
sentence or so of a story or an address. The {bertlham} of a
well-known work is often well-known itself, as is its beginning
({bI'reS}). [HQ 12.2:8-9]
N.B. "speech (vocal sounds)" is {QIch}
