The following Vulcan words came up during "Amok Time" (where spock goes to Vulcan to take a wife and ends up fighting Kirk...). Spelling of these words may not be correct-- llerpa - A weapon used in battle. One end contains a large blade, the other end a counterweight. Ahnvoon -- Another battle weapon (used in this episode after the the llerpa is broken; Spock uses the Ahnvoon to strangle Kirk shortly before the end of the episode). The best way to describe the Ahnvoon is that it looks like a limp firehose. Callife -- The Challege. Ti' Pring chooses the Callife during the mating ceremony. Kunat Callife -- The place of mating. The sacred ground where the mating ceremony is held. This land has been in Spock's family for 2000 Earth years. Kroyka -- STOP! Tai Pau keeps herself busy during this episode by screaming "KROYKA!" everytime someone gets out of line. Also, this is one episode where Spock shows emotion at the end of the show. He is so overjoyed to see Kirk alive after beaming up to the Enterprise that he almost gives him a bear hug. After pointing out his emotional outburst, Spock says "A purely logical reaction. I was merely suprised (correct word?) that Starfleet had not lost one of its best Captains (or something like that)". -- Walt
