A night can have stars:
Hov ghajbe'bogh ram rur pegh ghajbe'bogh jaj
A day without secrets is like a night without stars. PK
One can have honor:
quv lughaj Archer HoD beqDaj je.
Captain Archer and his crew are honorable people. (ENT "The Augments")
Something can "have gravity" {tlham ghaj} (slang for "have structure,
order") KGT 165.
And looking at {ghaj}'s antonym {Hutlh} "lack, be without, to not have",
one can lack a plan:
nab Hutlh 'ach vang
He/she lacks a plan, but he/she takes action
(i.e. He/she improvises). KGT
One can of course lack honor:
quv Hutlh HoHbogh tlhIngan 'ach qabDaj 'angbe'bogh
A Klingon who kills without showing his face has no honor. TKW
'ang'eghQo' quv Hutlhbogh jagh neH ghobtaHvIS ghaH
Only an enemy without honor refuses to show himself in battle. TKW -
and something can "lack gravity" {tlham Hutlh} (i.e. "lack structure,
order") (KGT 165)
