I was looking to find out some terms to use as labels in some kind of
possibile "Klingon ID card", if place them as questions would look strange
since the answer is already witten under it.

Yes, I agree with you. But you must also agree with me that an organization
big as an Empire must have some kind of ID documents so it sounds normal to
me that there must be a way to describe this terms in Klingon. If you say
that we know only a part of the total Klingon dictionary, you're right , but
with recent canon souces such the TKW or new ST episodes maybe some of these
word that are missing in the TKD can come out.
Til next!
