KGT p. 85. To the Klingon palate, the best food tastes tlhorgh ("pungent,"though some non-Klingons may prefer to translate the word as "rank" or "gamy"). The opposite of tlhorgh is tlhorghHa', conventionally translated as "bland"but literally meaning "unpungent," the implication being that the natural punchhas somehow been taken out of the food as a result of how it was prepared. Thesame ideas are often expressed idiomatically. When talking about the quality ofa dish, one may say jej pach ("The claw is sharp"; that is, the food ispungent) or jejHa' pach ("The claw is dull"; in other words, the food isbland, where jejHa' ["dull"] really means something like "de-sharpened").Antonyms: jej
