Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

For Klingons, blood is more than just one of a number of red-pink bodily fluids. It represents the animating force of life itself, that which controls basic temperament and character. It is strength. It is the commander, making the decisions and giving the orders. With effort, its influence can be repressed, but never entirely ignored. For a warrior to get in touch with himself, to lead a truly effective life, he must pay attention to, or listen to, what his blood has to say. Though Konmel used the common Federation Standard translation when he tried to get Worf to join him, the Klingon version of this frequently heard exhortation is a bit more pointed. The verb "{Qoy}" means "hear," not just "listen." One must actually perceive and understand that which is being said.

The memory of you sings in my blood.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

This is a line excerpted from a Klingon poem. Poetry plays a prominent role in Klingon mating behavior. The female typically roars, throws heavy objects, and claws at her partner. The male reads love poetry and, as Worf put it, "ducks a lot." This particular line is interesting because it reinforces the importance of song as a memory-triggering device. The literal, though less poetic, translation of the line is "When my blood sings, I remember you." Presumably the blood's song concerns the beloved individual.

If the qIvon is cold, the blood is hot.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

A warrior's blood boils before the fire is hot.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

This proverb suggests that it is better to take the initiative that to simply react to situations. Blood, the controller, does not need an external influence in order to heat up; one need not draw strength from the outside.

Perhaps because of increased association with the Federation, or perhaps simply as a result of the progression of time, the number of venues available to Klingons to act on their basic genetic need for battle and confrontation--- their boiling blood---has diminished. Whereas once Klingon warriors would use the slightest provocation as justification for a fight, today, more so than in the past, the strengths and skills of the warrior are often demonstrated ritualistically. Mock battle and tournaments are staged, such as the competition on Forcas III, in which Klingons prove their skills at wielding the bat'leth - {betleH}, the traditional sword.
