color: SuD




Does anyone know specifically why the word {SuD} means blue, green and 
yellow?

Does this mean:
1.  Klingons have tritanopic color-blindness (unable to distinguish 
between blue and yellow);
2.  Klingons are unable to discern the upper-end of the "visual" spectrum 
(unable to perceive the band of shorter wave-length light in the 
spectrum humans perceive.  Note:  there is also no word for violet or purple 
listed, which may support this theory); or
3.  Klingons can see these colors perfectly well but the distiction is 
simply unimportant.
