Marc Okrand to architect Lieven L. Litaer (11/20/2009)
I told him about the lack of good words relating to
architecture. [...] he did know the word for plan
(the big piece of paper). He said it's {pu'jIn} --
same as the word for map.
Okrand to Lieven again (10/24/2011):
[Maltz] did say, though, that there is a verb {ren} that
means design or map out or plan. [...] {ren} is not the
same as {'ogh} "invent}, which implies creating something
that hasn't been created before. And it's not the same
as {nab} "plan" which is used for planning an event (or
a battle strategy or whatever), just as the noun {nab}
"plan" cannot be used to refer to blueprints.
Cf. the idiom {nab He} "plot (a) course":
nImbuS wej maghoS, He yInab
Plot course for Nimbus III. (ST5 notes)
("We're going to Nimbus III. Plot a course!")
He pagh-pagh-vagh-jav-pagh-jav yInab
Plot course 0.0.5.6.0.6. (ST5 notes)
He pagh-pagh-pagh-DoD-cha' yInab
Plot course zero-zero-zero, mark two. ST5
