 Well, no, that wasn't what I meant it to mean. I used naS to mean something else that a pie would be expected to be like tangy, tasty or even delicious. When a word doesn't exist in a language I think you have to find a substitute that conveys the general meaning : I suspect that the word naS doesn't have such a hard meaning in klingon : a vicious klingon might be equivalent to an average human.
