Given a Klingon mindset, I've almost always translated "holy" or
"blessed" with {quv} or {quvqu'}. However, I always seem to forget
{mIgh} means "be evil", so {mIghHa'} seems our best bet for "holy" (or
at least, "good" in the anti-evil sense).
Klingon probably doesn't have a direct equivalent for "saint" in the
religious sense. "Sacred" might be possible, though I'm not sure we
could do it with the vocabulary we have.
