Unlikely - Klingon has *no* provision for Gender-specification
*anywhere* in the language - it is *highly* unlikely that it has
suddenly appeared here. Given that <<bat>> and <ba'>> sound very
similar, it is more likely a transcription error...and I'd trust 'The
Klingon Way' over 'Sarek'as a source of the correct spelling - since we
*know* Okrand did that :)
