<ghol> is "opponent"
<qoch> is "partner"
I've always wondered about <ghol>. The definition - "opponent, adversary" -
seems to mean almost the same thing as <jagh>, but less personal. Opponents
fight against each other (in whatever context is appropriate), but don't
necessarily have ill feelings toward each other. Enemies hate each other. I
wonder what this all means in the context of Klingon culture.
