Kolinahr

kolinahr (pronounced: ko·li·naar)

In the fictional television series Star Trek, the Vulcan ritual by which all remaining vestigial emotions are purged and the discipline whereby this is maintained.

Mr. Spock began the process of the kolinahr ritual after retiring from Starfleet circa 2269. By 2271 Mr. Spock had completed all but the final ritual of the kolinahr, but refused to complete the ritual after receiving powerful telepathic signals from space and experiancing strong emotions as a result.
