Thanks for your suggestions

Yes, I discovered that there is a new word tuq, House, tribe (clan?) (n),
from The Klingon Way p.34 ( Niall Hosking <[email protected]>)
So I suppose that should be canon and can be used without fear of mistaking.
>How about {nuqDaq bogh}?
You suggest to turn it in a question? That could be a good idea, so it's
possibile to use terms that are verbs in a correct way.
>> Date of issue jajtagh
>I would use {ghorgh tagh}.
Placing it as a question, prevent to use the same term in a affirmative
sentence, how can I say "The date of issue is XXX" It wouldn't be logic to
say "ghorgh tagh XXX" , because it would be a question.
>How about {ghorgh rIn}?
It would have the same problem as the previous term.

Nice try, that could be a good way to get around it. I can't figure out any
other ways if there is no canon term for it.
Thanks again,
