so,it could be used to describe the afterburner of an aircraft too ? or is it only applied to sources of light,used solely for <<domestic>> purposes ?

Because (lamp) was added by me to clarify that this is a light source, and not just "light" (ie photons). The word can't be used to describe a "beam of light" that comes through the clouds for example.

 

Both boQwI' and Hol 'ampaS use dictionaries created by the individual authors and so there are a number of minor differences between them, and the Klingon Word of the Day pulls from the Hol 'ampaS dictionary not the boQwI' one.
