{ghal} "be jealous, envy" (v) is probably just be a simple look-up error for "envoy" by the person who compiled the dramatis personae list. You noted that within the play this character is called {molor Duy'} - sic! for {molor Duy} - "Molor's agent/emissary/delegate".
Hmm... {molor Duy'} "defective Molor" could be a traditional epithet for this despised figure - especially by Klingon children! <g>
