From: "Marc Okrand" Newsgroups: msn.onstage.startrek.expert.okrand Date: 18 Jun 1997 You're right! /jeq/ means "protrude from." The object of this verb would be the thing from which something else (the subject) protrudes. Thus, /chor jeq taj/ means "a knife protrudes from a belly" [/chor/ "belly," /taj/ "knife"]. I suppose this is a handy word to know if you're vacationing on Qo'noS. [[eof]]
