[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Da'

[Steven Boozer]

"A non-commissioned military ranking above private and below sergeant." (KLS)

KGT 53:  Among the troops ({QaS}), the highest-ranking are given the title {bu'}, traditionally translated as “sergeant”, while the next highest have the title {Da'} (corporal). No specific titles are used for anyone of lower rank.

However, Alexander reported to the Rotarran's first officer Worf by stating, "*Bekk* [{beq} “crewman”] Alexander Rozhenko, reporting as ordered." (DS9 "Sons and Daughters")
