This means "tongues' bucket". While you can translate that as
"bucket of tongues, you must realize that you are referring to
the bucket and not its cargo. If you are using "bucket" as a
unit of measure, it would probably be better to count the
tongues and use the number. Even if you don't count them,
remember, a Klingon may be inaccurate, but he is never
approximate.
