Klingon WOTD: qaw (verb)
This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Sunday, June 3, 2007.
Category: General
Klingon word: qaw
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: remember
Source: TKD (101 KE, 149 EK)
Swedish: komma ihåg, minnas
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 101. When taking a table's order, the {jabwI'} neither write anything down nor enters data into a computer. It is considered the duty of the {jabwI'} to remember ({qaw}) the choices and to bring the correct food, and servers tend to be quite skilled at this. On the rare occasion when the {jabwI'} has remembered incorrectly ({qawHa'}), the patron may reject ({lajQo'}) the dish. If the patron rejects a dish that the server believes has been properly remembered, however, the misunderstanding could develop into minor combat. For most of the other diners in the restaurant, this is regarded as an exhilarating diversion.
Antonyms: lIj
