"zan" is from John M. Ford's Klingon novel "The Final Reflection", which
was written *before* we had tlhIngan Hol. His language was called
"klingonaase", but wasn't fully developed. Yes, "zan" is roughly
equivalent to "Mister" as a title or form of address, but it is used
with the Klingon's personal name (in my case, "zan Qob") and not his
Line name.
