• For example, one language may borrow (and, in the process, phonetically modify) a word for a concept it lacks [...] Klingon qa'vIn (coffee), which seems to be taken from Federation Standard caffeine. [KGT p.205]

Entries differ and have been combined here.

Though likely coincidental, it is interesting to note that the Finnish word for coffee, kahvi (or kahvin in the genetive), is frightfully similar to qa'vIn.

• ra'taj — raktaj, café con licor, tipo de bebida
• 'awje' — tipo de bebida (root beer)
