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

[lojmIt tI'wI' nuv 'utlh]

Since we are generally using databases for this function, I’d just like to point out that we can put personal annotations into fields OTHER than the definition, and we’ll be less likely to corrupt the data. Normal dictionaries site sources. It’s the only way to resolve eventual arguments about definitions for a canon-based language.

Look in the archives for the origin of the Klingon word for “armpit”, if you want to know why this is important.
