I suspect this one is deliberately omitted. Klingons are probably not supposed to know the meaning of the word.
I agree. We also have a number of phrases that demonstrate how to talk about "fear":
vay' DaghIjlaHchugh bIHoSghaj.
Fear is power.
not qoHpu"e' neH ghIjlu'.
Only fools have no fear.
Thirded. It's too basic a concept for its absence to have been an accidental oversight.
For "fear is the mind-killer", I'd happily say simply yab HoH ghIjwI' "a thing which scares kills the mind".
That's all right if the omission was made on purpose.
boqwI' lists another interesting mu'tlhegh where ghIj appears to be used as an adverb:
ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj
It would be useful to know if it can be used, as the note says the phrase is "archaic"
In that fossilized sentence, jaghmey appears to be used as a verb. Don't use it as an example of anything productive in the "modern" Klingon that we're studying.
Then again, as Klingons don't acknowledge fear in public, it may be a dirty word, or a technical word used by yab Qed only.
Think verbs. ghIj, Haj, -vIp Whenever your sentence is based around a noun that doesn't describe a physical object, back up and do it with verbs.
