Used in canon:
Sor poch
He/she plants a tree. KGT
lugh; Sor rur
correct as a tree. KGT (common simile)
N.B. {Sor Hap} "wood (as material). E.g. {Sor Hap 'In}:
The general term for a percussion instrument of any kind is {'In}.
[...] The {'In} itself may be made entirely of metal (in which case
it might be described as a bell, though in Klingon it is simply
termed {baS 'In}, or "metal 'In"), or entirely of wood ({Sor Hap
'In}, "wood 'In"). One kind of {Sor Hap 'In} is a tube, open on
both ends, with a longitudinal slit extending not quite to either
end. It is hit with a {mupwI'Hom}. (KGT 74-75)
Culinary notes:
One way to bring fermentation about is to mix the food with a fungus
(known as {'atlhqam}) usually scraped off the bottom of certain
animals' feet, though it also grows on trees. (KGT 92)
