Well, _latte_ is Italian for `milk'; what's the Klingon for that?
Are Klingons mammals, anyway? Assuming that female Klingons' breasts
have the same kind of glands as female humans' do, what is the output
of those glands called in Klingon?

Maybe they can, but must they? They are not translated in English.
If English uses the Italian words, why should Klingon have its own?
