The Type 8 suffix category contains only one suffix: -neS. This suffix is specifically employed to show profound respect, courtesy, or politeness. It's reserved exclusively for addressing individuals who hold a higher position or rank within Klingon societal, political, or military structures. Although it demonstrates significant respect, its use is never compulsory.
- qaleghneS - I am honored to see you (legh - see)
- HIja'neS - Do me the honor of telling me (ja' - tell)
- DojneS mIplIj - Your wealth is impressive, your honor (Doj - be impressive, mIp - wealth)
- po'neS baHwI'pu'lI' - Your gunners are skilled, your honor (po' - be skilled, baHwI' - gunner)
- QaghwIj vIQIj 'e' yIchaw'neS - Permit me to explain my mistake, your honor (Qagh - mistake, QIj - explain, chaw' - permit)
- cha'puj vIngevmeH chaw' HInobneS - Give me a permit to sell dilithium, your honor (cha'puj - dilithium, ngev - sell, chaw' - permit, nob - give)
Klingons generally use this suffix sparingly.
