SuD

be green, be blue, be yellow

Part of speech

verb

Pronunciation

ʂuɖ

Sound out SuD letter by letter:

• Sʂretroflex sh, between English 's' and 'sh'
• uuu as in 'boot'
• Dɖretroflex d (tongue curled back)

• SuDqu' (very {SuD}) would probably be described as green in Federation Standard. [KGT p.82]
• SuD 'ej wov means (it) is {SuD} and light, a way to refer to a yellowish tinge; SuD 'ach wov ({SuD} but light) is also heard. [KGT p.82]
• SuD 'ej wov light blue [TNK]
• Doq 'ej SuD purple [TNK]
• SuD 'ej Hurgh dark blue [TNK]

Entries differ and have been combined here.

SuD can indicate quite a range of colors, and this (apparently) also goes for some of the more complex expressions to refer to specific colors, e.g. SuD 'ej wov (or SuD 'ach wov) could refer to either a light blue or a yellowish tinge (different sources give different translations -- see below examples -- all which plausibly falls within the meaning of the Klingon word).
