Notes

KGT p. 86. The verb meaning "smell"--that is, "sense odors"--is largh. The word for "emit a smell" is He'. This does not necessarily imply a bad smell. Odors are not considered "good" or "bad"; they are just odors. There may be a subjective evaluation of the source of the odor, however. It is a compliment to suggest that someone smells like [rokeg] blood pie not because the smell itself is good, but rather because the food carries with it positive associations. On the other hand, it is most insulting so say that someone smells like rotting[forshak].

latlh De'/Additional Information
This phrase might be more literally translated as "A loved one is always smelled," in other words. One's strong feel- ings for someone are first aroused by the sense of smell. Speaking to Geordi La Forge about courting behavior, Worf put it a little more eloquently: "Words come later. It is the scent that first speaks of love."
