Letters to the Editor


This is in reference to an article by Mark Shoulson in <HolQeD> 3:1, p. 12.
I believe that I have discovered the Federation Standard equivalent for the
word Hu'tegh. I base this on the word's usage on pages 183 and 383
of the novel by A. C. Crispin. By substitution, the sentences makes
complete sense and the usage of the word in these situations mirrors its
present-day usage by American English speakers. This makes it no longer a
mild curse, but a "biggie!" It seems, though, that unlike our word that can
be conjugated, Hu'tegh seems to be able to be used without further change
in all aspects.
