Didn't you read my PS (ghItlh 'o')?? I saaaaid: I meant no offense; all the
other mu'qaD were hot cha, a-ok. It's just this one that gnaws at me. It just
keeps gnawing and gnawing and gnawing and gnawing....

Ah, so you're a canonist. Hey, I respect that. I've read very little of STE,
but from what I've heard, I don't blame you for retaining the conservatist
view.
Even so, I still think that it is not safe to consider old women to have the
same cultural status in Klingon society as they do in Terran society.
