As used in canon:
wa' SuvwI' muHlu'DI', tuHchoH Hoch SuvwI'pu'
The execution of but one warrior brings shame to all. TKW
Other useful verbs include {chot} "murder", {HoH} "kill", {Hegh} "die" and
{HeghmoH} "be fatal".
The only nouns I know of are the fairly general {HoH} "killing" and {Hegh}
"death".
Note the quality {ghoQ} "be fresh, be just killed (meat)" which "in its
most narrow usage, applies to just-killed meat" (KGT 35) which I could
easily see being used morbidly by Klingon police for someone who has just
been "whacked" (i.e. murdered/executed by a hired assassin or "hit man").
