latlh De'/Additional Information

Klingon Commander Kruge invoked this principle when, after attacking the Enterprise, he concluded that the Federation starship may have suffered substantial damage. Though there was no concrete evidence of this, he said "I trust my instincts."

Similarly, Klingon renegades Korris and Konmel, beamed aboard the Enterprise just before their own (stolen) ship exploded, appealed to this notion when they tried to lure Worf to reject the Klingon-Federation alliance and join them. "Our instinct will lead us," said Korris. "Instincts that have not been dulled by living among 'civilized' men," Konmel added, by way of clarification.

The Klingon word for instincts is "{Duj}," and it is grammatically correct to treat it as singular (a bundle or collection of instincts) or plural (individual instincts). "{Duj}" also means "ship" or "vessel," so a possible interpretation of the aphorism is "trust your ship." In this context, a vessel could symbolize oneself. To a Klingon, this reveals a deep truth.
