Meaning
(general invective)
Pronunciation
Sound out Hu'tegh letter by letter:
- Hxharsh h, as in Scottish 'loch' or German 'Bach'

- ttʰstrongly aspirated t

Usage notes
In HQ3:3 p.14 Rhonda E. Green points out that a possible translation of this word would be "fuck", this based on the usage of the word in A.C. Crispin's "Sarek". I (zrajm) disagree with this -- as almost any invective (e.g. jay') can be translated as "fuck".
