Klingon word:   mIv'a'
Part of Speech: noun 
Definition:     crown 
Source: KGT (219 KE, 239 EK) 
Swedish: krona


Additional Notes:
KGT p. 58: Old armor included headgear of some kind apparently called a {mIv}, which , in modern Klingon, means "helmet."  The word also survives in the word {mIv'a'} ("crown"; literally, "big helmet" or "great helmet"), a ceremonial headpiece worn by some Klingon emperors.
