In one of his MSN posts (I believe) Marc Okrand tells us that a {toQ} is a
Klingon animal which is similar to an Earth bird of prey.
*IF* the Klingon designation for a Romulan Warbird follows the same pattern,
we would first need to know what the Klingon word for "warbird" is! :) All
of these ships are decorated to resemble birds of some kind.
I would guess that the correct word is {veSDuj} "warship," whether it's
painted like a bird or not.
