Klingon sentimentality

|My, what an un-Klingon thing to say! Well, there's no word for "miss," as far
|as I know, so you have to come up with an alternative. It really depends on
|your sentiment. Are you saying this is a depressed sort of way, or is it
|cheerful?

On the other hand, we know very little about Klingon love poetry (except
that Klingon males "duck a lot" while reading it aloud). Consider the
excerpted line from The Klingon Way, p. 17:
bomDI' 'IwwIj qaqaw.
The memory of you sings in my blood.
("When my blood sings, I remember you.")
That sounds pretty close to "I miss you" to me.
