[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: lIH

[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word:   lIH
> Part of speech: verb
> Definition:     introduce

AFAIK never used in canon.
 
HQ 12.2:9:  To begin to sing a song is to {lIH} (literally, "introduce") the song, and that portion of the song that comes at the beginning--a portion that is often so familiar that listeners know what song it is after hearing just that short portion--is the {namtun}. 

Related verbs:

ghom 	meet, encounter
qIH 		meet (for the first time)
pIH 		expect

Notice the set of verbs {pIH}, {qIH} and {lIH} -- surely not a coincidence!
