By no means am I even close to anexpert on the Klingon Language. However
Looking at the race as a whole, there culture is based around war, and
warriors. Ther names have been to date, Kor, Kang, Kahless, Worf, I have never
seen 'wI on the end of the characters name. By the time of the next
generation, there where billions of Klingons in the galaxy. Someone would be
hard pressed, to say that a name 'wI could not exist.
I would just chose my name as what fits your out looks.
Well, now here is a question. In the Klingon Lanaguge does, Worf, Kor , Kang,
Klank, Kahless have means or are they just words?
My two cents
