LANGUAGE NOTES:
MO to De'vID (5/29/2015): Maltz tells me, though, that there is a word for certificate. It's Qoyje' and Maltz said it could be used for the kind of certificate you're talking about, but also for other things, such as a diploma. It can't be used for a license or a permit - that, of course, is chaw'. The difference is that a Qoyje' is proof or verification of some sort of achievement or accomplishment, but it doesn't necessarily allow you to do anything as a result of that. A chaw' shows that you are officially or legally allowed to do or get or own something. Maltz said that *yer ghajwI' Qoyje' for "deed" might seem to make sense (rather than yer ghajwI' chaw'), but not from a Klingon legal perspective, since property ownership is granted by a government or other sort of authority - it's not an accomplishment (though those of us paying mortgages might feel otherwise).
(MO to Lieven, 11/16/2014): A password or passcode is a chaw' ngoq.
