[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: bIQ'a'

[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word:   bIQ'a'
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition:     ocean

Used in canon:

bIQ'a'Daq 'oHtaH 'etlh'e' 
The sword is in the ocean. KGT
(idiom: something has ended, it is impossible to return to a prior condition)

nuqDaq 'oH bIQ'a' HeH'e' 
Where is the beach? (TalkNow!)

Cultural notes:

KGT 16:   The Klingon Homeworld {Qo'noS}, usually rendered Kronos in Federation Standard, is a planet with basically one very large mass of land surrounded by ocean; perhaps continent is a comparable concept.

The Klingons have a sea-faring tradition and a history of naval warfare (cf. TKW p.33).
