Usage for pab

batlh ghob yIpab.

Adhere to virtue honorably.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information
This maxim, one of several about virtue itself, illustrates the importance of virtue in Klingon society. Not only should one be virtuous ("adhere to virtue"), that is, behave in a way Klingons consider morally righteous, one should take care to honor and respect those values. In other words, one should not merely endorse the values of the society, one should fully embrace their spirit and meaning. The Klingon verb in the expression, "{pab}," is here translated "adhere," bit it is also used to mean "follow," in the sense of following rules, suggesting perhaps that, though not offi- cially laws, virtues should be followed as if they were.
