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

[Steven Boozer]

"Portent" or "harbinger" would probably be other translations of {maQmIgh}.  It was published in HolQeD 1.3:9 as part of a list of words Okrand provided for a 'zine called <<veS QonoS>>.  Anyone know anything about this 'zine or how {maQmIgh} was used there?
