Homonym with {baQ} (verb): Be fresh, just picked. (Said of a fruit or vegetable.).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 10:24 AM, Steven Boozer <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Klingon word: baQ<br>
&gt; Part of speech: verb<br>
&gt; Definition: toss *bat&#39;leth* from one hand to the other<br>
<br>
</div>Never used in a sentence.<br>
<br>
KGT 59-60:  There is an extensive vocabulary for the moves associated with bat&#39;leth use. To thrust or lunge toward one&#39;s opponent, for example, is {jop}... To twirl or rotate the bat&#39;leth is {jIrmoH} and to toss it from one hand to the other (the same word is used whether left to right or right to left) is {baQ} ... When teaching someone to use the bat&#39;leth, the tutor will shout out movements--for example, {yIjop! yIway&#39;!} (&quot;Lunge! Defend!&quot;). Generally in such a situation, however, the tutor will used the shortened form of the language known as Clipped Klingon and skip the imperative prefix {yI-}, leaving only the bare verb: {jop! way&#39;!} It is important to note that the tutor is giving the student direct commands (&quot;Lunge! Defend!&quot;), not shouting out the names of movements.<br>

<br>
Related verbs include:<br>
<br>
{yan}  &quot;wield, use or manipulate a sword&quot;<br>
{chuH} &quot;throw (a spear) at, hurl (a spear) at&quot;<br>
{jaD}  &quot;throw around, hurl about&quot;<br>
