tlhIngan wIy
Klingon Tactical Display SP3 (title)
{wIy} was one of the eleven original Klingon words created by James Doohan and spoken by Mark Lenard (through a set of prosthetic teeth) in the opening scene of Star Trek: the Motion Picture which Marc Okrand subsequently used as the basis for {tlhIngan Hol}.
Lieven L. Litaer (Facebook group tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu', 1 Dec 2010):
Finally, someone last year asked for the word for picture... he thought
about it some more and said that another word, {mIllogh}, could be used
for any sort of depiction, including drawings, photographs, cartoons,
icons on 21st-century computers, and so on.
Similar words:
HaSta visual display (on monitor) (n)
jIH monitor, terminal [device] (n)
bey' ceremonial display (n) (e.g. on a wall)
mIllogh picture, image, (visual) depiction, drawing (n)
cha' show, display (picture) (v)
Hotlh project, put on (screen); scan (v)
The difference between these verbs is not clear (at least to me), though {cha'} seems to be the more general of of the two:
yIHotlh
Put him on the screen! TKD
nuHotlhpu''a'
Have they scanned us? TKD
yIHotlh
Scan it! KGT
vs.
wIy yIcha'
Show the tactical display! TKD/KCD
wIy cha'
Display tactical! STMP (Clipped)
HaSta yIcha'

DoS cha'
