Chapter 1 - Pok Tar

Ch1 - cultural - POK TAR
Many Vulcans eat smaller meals thru the day, in order to make metabolism efficient and to preserve resources by rationing meals as a cultural tradition. “TAR” means to speak in the general sense, or tell a short story, smalltalk. “POK” as listed, has unfamiliar origins as a single word, but similarly paik = general, pok = ready, pohk = regard, tah = unobtainable, t’ahr (pro-rhotic) = relates to observations. The quality of the food is more important than the quantity. Most pok-tar is a variety meal and not one food by itself, and in small servings to allow civilized conversation while eating.

Vulcans prefer to use cutlery (forks, knives, spoons) etc, traditionally to be clean in case of chance emergency. To humans, it might appear that Vulcans only eat appetizers, or that by eating many smaller meals, would appear to be eating often or too much. This is not necessarily true. They are traditionally vegetarians, but will survive by logical method.

*there is no word for coffee in Vulcan, but the the Klingon word is qavin (written as qavIn). In using the latin-alphabet, the letter hard-c (not frequently used, more about C later) is pronounced more in the throat than the letter k is. Kafiin, with two i’s to imply that it’s a loan-word substitution. What do you think the best word for coffee and or caffeine is? reddit.com/r/Vuhlkansu
