[Tlhingan-hol] janeway HoD

[mayqel qunenoS]

thank you Ca'non master !

I had heard of the word {qajunpaQ}, however I didn't know that it was
any different from the word {toDuj}.

So, I used the english expression, because I wanted to describe
janeway's extreme courage and I couldn't find a klingon way of
describing it.

Now that you told me, I realize that {qajunpaQ}, is the perfect word
for the job.

thanks !

In Klingon, it implies courage of a rather surprising or unexpected kind, perhaps even recklessness, as opposed to {toDuj} (courage, bravery), which is more neutral. Some Klingon speakers preserve the original pronunciation, though most fall into the more usual Klingon phonetic pattern. Probably very few Klingons are even vaguely aware of the original connection of {kajunpakt} with lava, glowing or otherwise. The Klingon word for lava, {vaHbo'}, has nothing to do with *kajunpakt*.
