Notes

From "Okrand's Notes," HolQeD 4:4 p. 11. "The word for 'dishonorably' is batlhHa'. This is clearly (?) the adverbial batlh 'in an honored fashion' plus a suffix -Ha', which might be analyzed as the negative suffix that follows verbs or else as a suffix identical in form (and meaning?) to it, but which appears with adverbials. Whether this -Ha' can be added to all adverbials is not clear."

Antonyms: batlh

latlh De'/Additional Information
Kurn, wanted to join the rebellion against Gowron, who was about to be installed as leader of the Klingon High Council. Gowron refused to overturn Worf's discommendation, the penalty of banishment and public disgrace accepted by the lieutenant commander after his unsuccessful challenge to the charge that his father was a traitor. Worf felt that Gowron was the only rightful leader of the Klingons and told his brother to support Gowron. "We can/ not regain honor by acting dishonorably," he said. Later, Kurn's intervention helped to turn away an attach on Gowron by followers of the family of Duras. To reward them, Gowron, now the leader of the Council, restored their family honor.
