Not every language has a single, simple word for every concept.  If I had to
quote Clarke's Law to a Klingon, I would define a word from DIvI' Hol and then
use that.

wanI'mey SeHlu'meH qa' Dep qa' HoS ghap lura'lu'chugh, <magic> lo'lu'.

({-law'}, {-Hey} and {-qoq} can be added as necessary to convey one's degree of
scepticism on the subject.)

jatlh <Clarke's Law>: 'Itlhqu'chugh jan, vaj <magic> rurchu'.
