> Part of speech: noun
> Definition: administration
Note the homophonous verb {loH} "administer" and the nomen agentis {loHwI'} "magistrate":
loHwI' vISuch 'e' vIpoQ!
I demand to see the magistrate! (ENT "Affliction")
AFAIK this is the only example of {loH} or its derivatives in canon. Does it appear in the paq'batlh?
TREK TRIVIA:
Archer's trial on Narendra III (?) for conspiring against the Klingon Empire and fomenting revolt was presided over by a magistrate. (ENT "Judgment")
In 2254 the Keeper on Talos IV was addressed as Magistrate by the Talosians. (TOS "The Cage/The Menagerie, Pt. II)
