Recently I read a discussion that SuD not only means green, but also to take
a risk. From another source I have read that Doq, by extrapolation from
multi-syllable words, means completely intimate/absolutely clear-minded. The
second source does not seem to have any basis in tlhIngan Hol canon.
muvuQ mu'tlhegh: qechmey pIm SevlI' qechmey qeng *color* qelbogh mu'mey
"absolutely knowing the Truth, Way, etc." 'oSlaw' {Doq} 'e' vImugh

Still, I find it quite interesting that the abovementioned joke may have
hidden meanings beyond those conveyed by using the color words. I will
interpret Doq as "absolutely knowing the Truth, Way, etc." In Lt. Duggan's
non-canon non-tlhIngan-Hol FAQs regarding the history of Klinzai, I read that
Klingons believe(d) in a sense of fatalism, trying their best to attract the
attention of Durgath in order to increase their odds of a good fate.
Are warriors absolutely clear-minded (on the path of Truth)?
No. They take risks.
Have fun with this (NON-CANON-BASED) play on the words {Doq} & {SuD}.
