Some of the terms you are using, I understand come from the StarTrek
Encyclopedia. Personally, I do not consider that a good reference for
the language OR the culture, as it sure as heck doesn't follow the
language patterns we have seen. This is just *my* opinion.
As far as the rest goes... well, I will hold my opinion. I personally
believe that Klingons don't have, nor do they *need* "religion".
Just my two credits.
