Everyday Klingon

The following text comes from the three Klingon cards found in the sixth season Star Trek: The Next Generation deck published by SkyBox International Inc.

S31 Hegh bey Death Howl

{HeghDI' tlhIngan SuvwI' pagh tlhIngan SuvwI' HoHlu'DI' Heghtay lulop latlh tlhInganpu'. Heghtay luloptaHvIS chaH chaq bey SeQ lujach.

When a Klingon warrior dies or is killed, other Klingons may perform a ceremonial howl or yell as part of the Klingon death ritual. The eyes of the fallen Klingon are opened and others roar in a great crescendo. This yell is victorious in nature, rather than mournful and also serves to warn the other dead that a Klingon warrior is coming.

S32 'oy'naQ Painstik

{nentay loptaHvIS tlhIngan potlh tlhIngan 'oy'naQ'e'. SIQwI' lu'oy'moHmeH juppu'Daj 'oy'naQmey lo' chaH. SuvwI' qa' patlh veb chavlaHmeH tlhIngan lo'chu' chaH. toDujDaj toblu'. wej 'ujmey 'ab 'oy'naQ. chIch vay' 'oy'moHmeH 'oy'naQ 'ul law' tlhuD 'oH.}

The Klingon Painstik is an important part of a Klingon's Age of Ascension ceremony. The Painstik is employed by friends of the recipient who use the devices to inflict pain in a manner which will allow the Klingon to attain a higher state of spirituality as a warrior, proving his mettle. Painstiks are a little over one meter long and emit a highly-charged shock for the express purpose of inflicting pain.
