Notes

Unlike other adverbials, neH follows the verb which it modifies. The semantic effect is one of trivializing the action.

qama' vIqIppu' neH I merely hit the prisoner. 
(qama' prisoner, vIqIppu' I hit him/ her)

Duj yIQotlh neH Just disable the ship! 
(Duj ship, vessel, yIQotlh disable it!)

The use of neH in the preceding sentence implies that the ship is to be disabled, but not damaged further.

Also unlike the other adverbials, neH can follow a noun. In such cases, it means only, alone.

yaS neH only the officer, the officer alone

jonta' neH only the engine

Hagh qoHpu' neH only fools laugh

There is also a negative form of this adverb that can also be used after a noun to mean not only.

chaH neHHa' wovmoH jul the sun lit up not only them

tlhIngan Hol neHHa' vIjatlh I speak not only Klingon

latlh De'/Additional Information
This is another adage couched in the vocabulary or battle that actually has wider application. Klingons hold that there is no value in setting goals unless one achieves them. This attitude complements the belief, noted earlier, that playing a game just for fun is an outlandish notion.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW p.21
latlh De'/Additional Information

As vital as musculature and weaponry are in winning battles or maintaining control, other qualities are equally if not more important. The unstated significance of this maxim is that intelligence and judgment play key roles in any confrontation.

When Worf learned that his father, who had been killed by Romulans in the Khitomer massacre, was later falsely accused of treason, he decided to exercise his responsibility as a son and appear before the Klingon High Council either to clear his father's name or to be punished for his crimes. According to Klingon custom, even though Worf was the one bringing the challenge, he was considered the accused since he would bear the punishment if the accusations against his father stood. During the course of the proceedings he was not permitted to participate in any fights himself, but instead was defended by an aide ("{cha'DIch}," literally, "second").

After Kurn, Worf's younger brother and first {cha'DIch}, was wounded, Worf asked Captain Picard to be his {cha'DIch}. Though, as Picard pointed out, stronger men were available, Worf preferred the captain, undoubtedly because of his shrewdness and loyalty. Such qualities are valued more than physical prowess alone.

This marking represents the Klingon Empire and has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships.
