Re: Klingon WOTD: DuDwI' (noun)
Likely, it has something to do with using the third toe, since {roS}
means both "use the third toe" and "lick", and if you do it badly, you
get paralyzed.
I wonder if Klingons would consider it an insult to be called a "third
toe licker". Sounds kinky enough, anyway.
