Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: mIl
> Klingon word: mIl
> Part of speech: verb
> Definition: be formerly honored
Used in canon:
yIntaHwI'pu' vImIlHa'moH jIH, Heghpu'wI'pu' DamIlHa'moH SoH
I will restore honor among the living, You will restore honor Among the dead. (PB)
Language notes:
(HQ 12.3:8-9): This would be applied to a leader who left office in disgrace, for example, or an ousted ship's captain. It would not be used of a {'utlh}, an officer who has stepped down or retired voluntarily and who is still respected. [....] Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, {DavHam}, which he defined simply as "false honor", but which really covers the same semantic ground as both {HoQ} and {Qaq} (but not really {mIl}).
Related verbs:
quv be honored
HoQ be honored falsely, be falsely honorable
Qaq behave falsely honorably, behave in a falsely honorable manner
