In "The Klingon Way," Marc Okrand described the term ghob as <do
battle> or <battle (v)>. The noun form of this term, ghob, is
described as "ethics" in The Klingon Dictionary; however, in The
Klingon Way, Marc Okrand also mentions that the Klingons' love of war
is so profound that the term ghob also means "virtue (n)."
The three main translations of ghob, then, are:-
ghob ethics (n)
ghob virtue (n)
ghob battle, do battle (v)
