Notes

(KGT 84f.): In terms of texture, Klingon food may be ngal (chewy), char (slimy), or tlher (lumpy), all considered positive attributes (depending, of course, on the particular dish).

(KGT 92): Finally, the way to prepare a common dish called qompogh is to mash (tap) a mixture of various types of naH (fruit, vegetable), with or without some animal matter, into a rather lumpy paste and then to let it rogh (ferment).

SEE ALSO:
ghegh be rough
vIl be ridgy (forehead)
Hab be smooth
beQ be flat

PUN: In the old U.S. TV series "Leave It to Beaver", the Beaver's (Jerry Mathers) big brother, Wally, had a friend named Clarence Rutherford, who was nicknamed "Lumpy". (Confirmed by Okrand at qep'a' SochDIch.)
