Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: tIH

<p><br>
Philip Newton:<br>
&gt; &gt; Klingon word: tIH<br>
&gt; &gt; Part of speech: noun<br>
&gt; &gt; Definition: shaft (of spear)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Homophonous with the noun {tIH} &quot;ray&quot; (TKD).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;m guessing that the &quot;ray&quot; meaning may have originated as a<br>
&gt; metaphorical extension of the &quot;spear shaft&quot; meaning - the rays of<br>
&gt; (say) a star being considered like spears being sent out.</p>
