[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: tlhIng yoS

[Steven Boozer]

AFAIK the only {yoSmey} known in canon are {HuD beQ yoS} Flat Mountain District and {tlhIng yoS} Kling District.  (Any onthers mentioned in the {paq'batlh}?

{yoS} explained:

KGT 16f.:  Within the land mass are distinct areas, some of which are demarcated geographically (divided by a mountain range, for example), while the boundaries of others seem rather arbitrary, the result, no doubt, of ancient power struggles. A specific area whose borders are definable, by whatever means, is normally called a {Sep}, commonly translated as "region", though, since the regions were politically distinct in the past, "country" might have at one time been just as appropriate a translation. An identifiable area within a {Sep} is a {yoS} (area, district), and a {yoS} usually contains at least one important {veng} (city); though sometimes, especially in the more rugged parts of a planet, there may be only a small settlement or {vengHom} [village]). This terminology is also used when describing other planets within the Empire ... Sometimes, however, the meaning of a place name is clear, such as the Sakrej region's {HuD beQ yoS} (Flat Mountain district)

lughchu'. Now at home and can look up the sources, and it turns out the only yoS mentioned by name in KGT is HuD beQ yoS "Flat Mountain district" (p. 17), in the Sakrej region. (Surprising; I thought more yoSmey were mentioned there.) tlhIng yoS is indeed from BoP, in the general specifications section:
