This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Saturday, March 24, 2007.
Category: Body Parts
Klingon word: tuqvol
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: forehead (regional)
Source: KGT (228 KE, 243 EK)
Swedish: panna (regionalt)
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 28: The standard word for this prominent part of Klingon anatomy is {Quch}, and this word is found with this meaning throughout the Empire. In addition, however, practically every dialect has its own alternate word for "forehead." [?] The word {tuqvol} may contain the word {tuq} ("house [lineage]") because family resemblances can be seen in forehead ridges. The second element, {vol}, however, is otherwise unknown.
Synonyms: Quch, boD, Huy'Dung, jargh, mIQ, no''och, 'aQlo'
