Frasi di esempio
- A weapon that is particularly good, that is well designed and well constructed, is normally described as vaQ. Thus, a taj vaQ is a meticulously made knife and a ghanjaq vaQ is an especially nice mace. In speaking about a fine weapon, one could compliment it even further by adding the emphatic -qu' to vaQ. A really spectacular bat'leth would be a betleH vaQqu'. The word vaQ is not often used in describing the newer weapons (disruptors and the like), though such locutions are heard from time to time. The original meaning of vaQ has been extended to mean effective, vigorous, aggressive and is now heard applied not only to weapons but also to people: SuvwI' vaQ (aggressive warrior). [KGT p.68]
