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

[Brad Wilson]

'Maltz said he once heard about a non-Klingon who reported that Klingons said 
"Tuesday" when expressing their wish that something turn out well. He said the 
writer of that report misunderstood. The expression is indeed {povjaj}, but it 
means "may it be excellent" and only coincidentally is it homophonous (my word, 
not Maltz's) with the word for Tuesday." (Marc Okrand; printed in the exercise 
book of qepHom wa'maH cha' [11/07/2013])
