Near the bottom of page 171 of The Klingon Dictionary, in the
"Useful Klingon Expressions" appendix, we find:
qaStaHvIS wa' ram loS SaD Hurgh SIjlaH qetbogh loD
Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
It also appears (with a minor typographical error -- an extra I)
on page 127 of The Klingon Way.
[It's interesting that I never noticed it before, but there is a
space between the word {loS} "four" and the number-forming element
{SaD} "thousand". I would have expected this to be a single word.
New blood can be so refreshing!]
