Ferengi word for "Spider"

[ZoloftBTH]

Hello friends,

I have joined just today, because I have one very specific question to ask, one that if anyone in the known galaxy could answer, it must be you!

Is there a Ferengi word for "Spider" or for a creature similar to a spider? If not, is there any other language in the Star Trek universe (other than English of course) that does have a word for spider?

I am working on a ST related project, and this would be quite helpful. Once I get it completely imagined, I will be happy to share with you all.

Thank you very much,

Russell

We heard very very little of the Ferengi language, I highly doubt there is a word for one.

The palukoo is a large arachnid indigenous to the Bajoran moons.

A Glikar'ma (also known as an Andorian forest spider) is a large venomous arachnid native to Andoria.

The ashikhan is a type of spider animal lifeform found in coastal areas of the planet Bajor. These spiders are around twenty centimeters long.

Bajor's moons were filled with tarantula-like creatures called palukoo, that were frequently eaten by members of the resistance while hiding from the Cardassians.

Just call it a Ferengi Spider.

You see in Star Trek you can make anything alien by sticking an appropriate alien word in front of a conventional Earth word - Joranian ostrich, Betazoid Cat, Klingon octopus and so on.

It even works with drinks - hence why you can drink Talaxian Champagne that originates from a world 70,000 light-years from the Champagne region of France.

Here ends the lesson.

So, it is a Targ?

No, it's a Ferengi spider. Kruge's pet is a Targ.

I'm going to go with Ashikhan, name of a new to the federation, spider like species, who made first contact with the Bajorians.

Thanks again!

Ferengi Spider is better. Yours just sounds like someone sneezing.

I can't wait for the hard-to-get ashikhan tie-in comic.

What?
