Within a muqaD veS I don't think there would be a repisal for an insult to the 
house, e.g.  (Power Klingon)

    Your targ has a bigger brain than all your ancestors put together!
    targhlIj yab tIn law' no'lIj Hoch yabDu' tIn puS

The indication we get is that <Hab SoSlI' Quch!> is a really bad insult.  But 
in general though you wouldn't want to say these things.
