[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] "What's up with the Zat thing - the fact that they shortened the word?" This was from the very first episode (the first season's finale) that they introduced the weapons to SG-1. Teal'C identifies them as Zat'ni'katel, and Jack, ever the one not to be able to pronounce things not English, just orders everyone to cell them zat guns. In the subsequent years, this has seemed to flow into the vernacular of the Goa'uld (and everyone else), who commonly use phrases like "zat blast" and "if you zat me even once" that they wouldn't have before. But the Jaffa have been known to shorten their own awkward word themselves (takunitagaminituron), so it may have been a parallel development. And zat just happens to sound cool. :) Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
