Paramount Hol
Parallel to
tlhIngan Hol, the ironic name
Paramount Hol refers to the meaningless Klingon words used on the TV shows, especially
Star Trek: The Next Generation,
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and
Star Trek: Voyager.
These words are not
canon, which means that
Marc Okrand did not invent them. It was
Paramount Pictures who invented these words, so it's called
Paramount Hol. A more appropriate Klingon term would be
Holqoq (so-called language); often Paramount Hol phrases lack the grammatical structure that Klingon has, and the pronunciation is often sketchy at best.
This explains why it happens very often that you hear Klingon on TV, but you can't find the word in the dictionary nor can anyone say what it means.
Vocabulary
Deep Space Nine
The following words are taken from the DSN scripts, also their translations. Do not correct them, even if they are obviously wrong. Do not add names of planets and places, unless we have a correct Klingon equivalent to it.
Star Trek: Insurrection
In the ninth movie
Star Trek: Insurrection, Mr.
Worf has a strange pimple on his nose which he calles a
gorch. There is no Klingon spelling known for this, but Okrand has said that it was an alien word that Klingons used to distance themselves from something embarassing.
