In Star Trek: Klingon, Pok is referred to, I believe, as {loDHom}.
(Certainly, the human holodeck-user is.) Since he is going through his Rite
of Ascension, he must be in the seventh month of his 15th year. I suspect
that {loDHom} is used for males until they complete the Rite of Ascension.
(Presumably, the Rite is different if one does not plan on becoming a
warrior.)
I see no reason to believe that female warriors do not also undergo the Rite
of Ascension, so upon completing it, a {be'Hom} would become a {be'}.
