Notes

KGT p. 89. Animals to be eaten are generally acquired by means of a hunt(chon; the verb "hunt" is wam). On the other hand, Klingons generally Sep("breed") small animals such as gharghmey ("worms").

At qep'a' 27, Okrand expanded the meaning to include "fish/fishing".

Usage for wam

QotDI' gheD tlhejbe' wamwI'.

The hunter does not lie down with the prey.

Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information
The Klingon renegade Korris asked Worf, "What is it like for the hunter to lie down with the prey? Have they tamed you, or have you always been docile?" By likening a war- rior to his prey and by suggesting that Worf had ignored the teachings of this proverb, Korris insulted Worf, probably more to make Worf angry than to offend him.
