Pronunciation

rom

Sound out rom letter by letter:

• rrlightly trilled or rolled r
• ooo as in 'go'
• mmm as in 'moon'

• Klingon grammarians refer to the rule that governs the use of pronominal prefixes as the rule of rom (literally, accord). Grammarians of Federation Standard and many Earth languages call the phenomenon "agreement." Thus, in the case of Klingon, the prefix used must "agree" with the noun to which it refers; if the object noun is plural, for example, the prefix must be one that is used with plural objects. Agreeing is not a trait typically associated with Klingon nature, however, and apparently, at least under certain circumstances, this may extend to grammar as well. [KGT p.172]
