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.
