Even before Qov's reply, the first idea to come to mind was [lalDan
yaS]. I have seen it used
before; I have used it too.
Qov's [lalDan po'wI'] I would take more literally; someone who is an
expert on religion,
academically, a professor; not necessarily in a position of
leadership within the religion.
So would I. I was reading it in Klingon without reference to the
English, so it wasn't completely clear whom he was approaching for guidance.

Was the god greeting the king, or was he actually asking the full
and proper [nuq DaneH?]
I just think it's so adorable that the god says nuqneH. It's a
greeting AND an interrogation.
DloraH (teH, jIyIntaH 'ej jISaHtaH ... Hoch vIlaDchu' 'e' vInIDtaH.)
Hoch'e'? lutwIj DalaDlI''a'? nuq bop bom 'oH lut pong'e'. nuq bop
bom? wej vI'ang. nuq bop lut? Hoch'e'!
It's a twelve chapter saga, but it's divided into little tiny
'ay'mey, so you can use it to keep your Klingon vocabulary fresh
with a daily 250 word dose of SuvwI' Hol. Battle, navigation, sex,
engineering, first aid, intrigue, cleaning the bathroom, economics,
agriculture, monday morning meetings, checking e-mail, cirque de
soleil, espionage, love, revenge, petty bureaucracy, physics, more
sex, more intrigue ... there is nowhere the story won't go.
I accidentally posted two chapters today, generally it's one a day,
or read from the beginning to almost now at http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com
Sorry De'vID, I shouldn't hijack your thread. Read De'vID's stuff
too! He's translating every 200 word story he can find. So far, his
have less sex and blood, and clearer morals.
