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

[Felix Malmenbeck]

vuD is used in paq'batlh (paq'raD, Canto 13; page 137):

vaj ruS cher ‘Iw
rap cha’ ghot HoS rap cha’ ghot vuD
chen yIn ruS

So the bond was sealed in blood
Of two equal in body and thought,
The bond of life.

AFAIK never used in canon, but I've seen Beginning Grammarians ask on the List:

  nuq 'oH vuDlIj'e'?

  vuDlIj yIja'!


Similar words:

qech    idea (n)
ngoD    fact (n)
Sov             knowledge (n)
De'             data, information (n)
yoj             judgment (n)

qel             take into account, consider (v)


As an exercise, how about translating Terence's pithy Latin {vIttlhegh}:

  "Quot homines, tot sententiae."

Any takers?
