This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Friday, April 27, 2007.

Category: Weapons/War

Klingon word:   yaD
Part of Speech: noun 
Definition:     sword (slang) 
Source: KGT (230 KE, 259 EK) 
Swedish: svärd (slang)


Additional Notes:
KGT p. 21: The distinctive pronunciations of the Krotmag dialect are surely responsible for some slang and idiomatic usages in Klingon in general. [?] A slang word for "sword" is {yaD} (literally, "toe"), based on the Krotmag pronuncation of {yaD} as {yaN}, which to most Klingons will sound like {yan} ("sword").
   
Homonyms:
	yaD (noun) - toe
