Notes

KGT p. 49: The quintessential Klingon person, of course, is the warrior, and there are several words for "warrior." The most commonly heard term is SuvwI'(literally, "one who fights" or "fighter"). This word is used in most circumstances and is never inappropriate. Indeed, it is often preferred because it states explicitly what a warrior does: fight. Other words for "warrior" are mang and vaj.

Esta palabra se usa en la mayoría de las circunstancias y nunca es inapropiada. De hecho, se prefiere con frecuencia porque establece explícitamente lo que hace un guerrero: luchar. Otras palabras para "guerrero" son mang y vaj.
