Perhaps Voragh could answer this better than I, but we do know a bit about
Klingon curses.
Someone once published a web site which listed all Klingon curses used in the
Star Trek shows. This was useful to see how the curses were used.
KCD has a section on curses. I'm not going to quote the whole thing for you,
but the one that usually sticks in my mind is the fact that {QI'yaH} is one of
the most vile expressions in Klingon.
There's also the section in Power Klingon on {mu'qaDveS}.
