Usage for je'

We fight to enrich the spirit. - We fight in order to buy the spirit.
Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.7
latlh De'/Additional Information

A more literal translation of this Klingon phrase is "We fight in order to feed the spirit," focusing more on the role of the giver of enrichment (the Klingon) than that of the recipient (the spirit). For Klingons, the spirit is something that must be cared for actively. As the clone of Kahless pointed out, fighting is more than a physical activity: "We do not fight merely to spill blood, but to enrich the spirit." Interestingly, because of the homophony of the Klingon words for "feed" and "buy," both "{je'}," the phrase could also be translated as "We fight in order to buy the spirit." If this is not mere coincidence, then, perhaps, to the Klingon way of thinking, while one is alive, one must sacrifice or give up something (the way one uses credits or latinum when making a purchase) in order to ensure that the spirit is one's own.
