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)".
