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

[qurgh lungqIj]

It's in KGT, page 67. I highly recommend reading that book at this point in
your studies. It has a lot of insight to share:

     As protection against these various weapons, a warrior often carried a
shield, or {yoD}, basically a large plate of metal. The verb form of
"shield" is also {yoD}, and to "shield oneself" is {yoD'egh}. (Although the
Federation Standard word "shields" refers to both the old hand-held
protective armor and the force field protecting a vessel--- the newer
meaning clearly based on the older---in Klingon, there is no connection
between the two. The force field on a ship is called {botjan}. To shield a
ship, one must "activate the shields," or {botjan chu'}.)
