[Tlhingan-hol] More new words from Maltz

[Terrence Donnelly]

You're probably right in general, but I would point out that you can easily "fill" the mouth of a bottle by putting a cork or other stopper in it (I believe we have seen many bottles on Star Trek that were closed with stoppers).

        How about QemjIq as the mouth of a bottle? Topologically it's not much different from the soundhole of a musical instrument with a soundbox.

I think of the mouth of a bottle more like a {qung}, you can put your finger through it and you cannot fill it. If you fill it, it's the bottle you fill, not its mouth.
Nevertheless, I'm sure Klingons have their own word for that, or call it like you did the "mouth" of the bottle. It doesn't sound correct to say "There's a hole in the bottle." In that case it's broken :-)

By the way, I'm pretty sure you can {vegh} a {qung}, as long as it's large enough.

Lieven.
