"The tknag is a dangerous carnivore native to Taganika. The skin is tough
and leathery, and the tknag is a formidable prey." It is a large food
animal, hunted with a {naQjej} in the {chontay}. {tIqnagh lemDu'} are a
food item, always referred to in the plural. (KCD)
WRT the Klingon planet Taganika, {tlhatlh} *gladst* (usually eaten with
{'uSu'} sauce) is another "dish native to the original inhabitants of
Taganika. When the Eight Houses began their rule of this sector, all the
natives from Taganika were banished to outlying planets. The Klingons,
however, adopted a number of their local dishes." (KCD)
