This is the Klingon Word Of The Day for Wednesday, January 2, 2008.

Category: Stative Verbs

Klingon word:   nguq
Part of Speech: verb 
Definition:     be arrogant, haughty, conceited 
Source: HQ (12:3 p9) 
Swedish: 


Additional Notes:
HolQeD 12:3, p. 8.  "Maltz's Reward: Part II."  The notion of "too big for one's britches" ("be too haughty or arrogant for one's status") as well as that of "commit hubris" ("be presumptuous or arrogant") might best be rendered in Klingon not by {HoQ} but by {nguq} "be arrogant, haughty, conceited" an undesireable trait.
