[Tlhingan-hol] Bunny

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Aye, the tribble captures many of the key literary characteristics: Small, furry, overeats, overbreeds ...

A Qa'Hom may also be a decent match. In Star Trek: Klingon, it's described as an animal that's weak and easily frightened, and there is no honor in killing one.
The picture showed a hedgehog ... which, admittedly, isn't all that close to a rabbit.

Non-canon:
chuSwI' - from Klingon Empire: A Burning House by Keith R.A. DeCandido
A burrowing rodent that makes an annoying sound. Quite possibly closer to a rat or a mouse than a rabbit, though.


All in all, I'd say the tribble is the best match we know of.

Subject: Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Bunny

for a project i am doing Felix suggested

tera' yIH (terran/earth tribble)

for rabbit/bunny, which i think is good. a small cute & soft creature which is good at breeding.

if you wanted to have a klingon sense of humor about it, perhaps

  qompogh (compost-type food)

or just some other food-related name. your spouse and eventually your son when he figures it out might not agree with your sense of humor on this choice, though.

thx, n@

My 6yo daughter has chosen the Klingon name {cha''Iv}.

My 4yo son wants me to translate "Bunny".

I'm at a loss and am open to suggestions.
