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

[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word: tlhImqaH
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition: type of food, *zilm'kach*

Never used in a sentence.  First seen in DS9 "Melora".

"Food made from something orange." (Keith R.A. DeCandido's novel "Diplomatic Implausibility", c2001)

KGT 94:  If a dish with a standard preparation technique (a {nay' motlh}, "usual dish") is being offered, asking how it is to be prepared is a demonstration of cultural ignorance. Thus, in addition to pipius claw, questions about {bIreQtagh} (bregit lung), {targh tIq} (heart of targ), {raHta'} (racht), {tlhImqaH} (zilm'kach), and }Qaj tlhuQ} (kradge tail) should be avoided.
