Type: proverb - Source: TKW

latlh De'/Additional Information

This is another way of saying that it is necessary to adhere strictly to the particulars of any procedure in order to achieve the desired goals. The proverb is phrased in terms of the details of Rite of Ascension, during which, as noted, warriors jab the Klingon youth with painstiks. It protocol is not followed---it this case, if painstiks are not used---the ceremony carries no import and the Age of Ascension has not been celebrated.

I thank you
For the bloodwine and gagh*,
We celebrate, for tomorrow we could die.

Where warriors returned after battle,
To drink, eat, and celebrate.

Type: sentence - Source: paq'batlh: Impact Book

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.

latlh De'/Additional Information

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.
