Please, watch out for those ' characters. The ' is a letter in Klingon and
the word for family is qorDu' and not qorDu. Futhermore in noun-noun
constructs the possessor comes before the possessee (sp?). So "House of
Hung" would imply qorDu' Hung. But I could be wrong on that last bit...

>2.  lurDech Suv for the equivalent of 'martial art or 'fighting tradition' 

This means "He fights the tradition", actually (if I'm right)...
