It wasn't for Worf:
poq torghen puqloD = Pok, son of Torghn (KCD)
DuraS tuq tlhIngan yejquv patlh luDub 'e' reH lunIDtaH DuraS be'nI'pu'

The sisters of the House of Duras, Lursa and B'Etor, are constantly seeking
a higher standing for the House of Duras within the Klingon High Council.
(Skybox card S26)
(DuraS be'nI'pu' lurSa' be'etor je = the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor)

"Worf, son of Mogh" anywhere officially.
