ja' ghunchu'wI':
But the only "Klingon perspectives" we can be sure of are the ones shown on
screen, with additional support from specific print and audio resources
when it comes to vocabulary. I can't recall any military context where
"storm" would be an appropriate term for a maneuver, but I can certainly
point to a perfect occasion where the weather term would apply.
If that indeed is Krankor's argument, I dispute it. Star Trek usage,
especially in the movies, trumps an assumed Klingon perspective.
<><>jIQochbe'...Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. More terms applied to atmospheric distortion, etc. when Praxis was destroyed. That would make me think the term /jev/ described weather implications rather than it describing one of "storming the castle." Besides, "storm," when applied to a military term, is slang anyway. In my humble opinion, it wouldn't make sense to have a Klingon word based off of OUR military term. Klingons wouldn't know what to make of the term used in that way...
