WORF: "Accelerated hair growth is often experienced by Klingons during
*jak'tahla*."
PICARD: "Roughly translated 'puberty'. Although for a Klingon, that
scarcely does it justice."
Klingons also experience severe mood swings, unusual aggressive tendencies
and the occasional *gorch* [pimple]. Worf also had the odd craving for the
blood of a live *kolarr* beast. (ST: Insurrection)
(N.B. These are not Okrandian tlhIngan Hol words, but what we on the list
call "Paramount Hol".)
