>Klingon word:   naS
>Part of Speech: verb
>Definition:     be vicious

Used in canon:

   naS; norgh rur
   "vicious as a norg" KGT

[The {norgh} is a type of animal, a sharklike sea creature (KGT).  In the 
novel SAREK it was described as a dangerous Klingon predator.]

KCD:  The {Qa'} is a "type of vicious animal".  The word {Qa'Hom} can 
apparently be applied to someone or something that may act like it's a 
vicious {Qa'} but is, in fact, just a little, harmless creature, fluffing 
itself up to make itself look bigger.

Related verbs:

{qej} "be grouchy, be mean";  {qu'} "be fierce";  {ral}  "be violent"
