I was watching some old episodes of Star Trek: Next Generation, and have heard a Klingon word used repeatedly in a specific context.
Sometimes when a Klingon is about to engage in combat, someone yells “Myriap!” - and everyone stops for a moment. A character usually says something, and then they go on fighting or stop.
From the context, I’m guessing it’s supposed to mean, “Please cease all hostilities for a moment so I can just say one more thing.”
