It's from KCD. If you have the "Star Trek: Klingon!" DVD, you could
look up the relevant bit. Alternatively, there are transcripts and
walk-throughs of the game posted on the net, though I don't have the
URLs. (If you find one, do share the link with us and I'll add it
to my notes for the next time KCD comes up in discussion.)

with another man." (KGT 69; cf. "Duels and Challenges", pp. 67ff.)
(cf. vb. {Hay'} duel & {qaD} challenge)
