sonneillonv:luckynote:THE LAST ONE CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD NGLThe word you’re looking for, and the one Spock actually uses in the books, is t’hy’la. As defined by Gene Roddenberry, who invented it, the word means: Friend/Brother/Lover.

He didn’t have to include ‘lover’ among the meanings either. But he did. And he did. So THEY did, if you get what I’m saying.this is particularly funny because I was having a discussion yesterday with a colleague about the Early Modern uses of “friend” for lover and “lover” for friend -- source link
