Type 8: Honorific
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.
