latlh De'/Additional Information
When a Klingon dies, it is thought that his spirit leaves his body and goes to join the spirit of other dead Klingons. This is marked in the Klingon Death Ritual when the surviving comrades howl---a warning to the dead that a warrior's spirit is on its way. The body, once the spirit has left it, is considered a worthless shell and is discarded unceremoniously. Exactly what Klingons think the spirit is doing when it leaves the body is a little unclear. The verb "{nargh,}" found in the saying cited above, means "escape," but the same word, or a phonetically identical one, means "appear." Thus, perhaps the Klingons are saying that when a warrior dies, his spirit appears, whereas prior to death it was hidden or disguised by the body. Another interpretation is that the spirit was held prisoner by the body. Worf told Jeremy, whose mother had been killed, "In my tradition, we do not grieve the loss of the body. We celebrate the releasing of the spirit."
When an escaped prisoner looks for a guard, he always finds one.

This maxim carries a message similar to the Federation dictum "Don't go looking for trouble." It suggests that if one's being overcautious interferes with the task at hand, the task is doomed.

The Klingon battle knife is designed primarily for versatility of use, so that the user is never caught at a disadvantage. Two small, secondary blades eject from the knife's sides, providing both a hand guard and another set of cutting edges. A brutally spiked pommel fastens the hilt together to provide a damaging surprise attack or give a devastating backhand stroke.
