"Klinzhai" is the Klingonaase word for the Klingon homeworld.
Klingonaase is the Klingon language appearing in the novel, "The Final
Reflection", by John M. Ford and it is also used in FASA's Star Trek role
playing game. Klingonaase has not been fully developed like tlhIngan Hol
and there are only several dozen words recorded.
Klingonaase is not considered canon in the same way tlhIngan Hol is, in
that it is not used in the TV series or movies, but its vocabulary
continues to remain popular among Klingon fandom.
