Do Klingons like chocolate? Is that the reson? In that case,
it's a wonder Worf hasn't translated "prune juice". Fruit liquor,
perhaps? <naH HIq>?
Tangentially, why is there no word for "liquid" or "beverage"?
Does one have to somehow use the verb "drink" to describe a liquid which
one ingests? Or is everything a liquor to Klingons??
