My immediate reaction is to grunt and say "Guess again." :-)
On further reflection, if you absolutely must try to find a single noun
in the Klingon vocabulary to express the concept that is so wordily and
carefully explained in the above quote, I can think of one that fits it
quite well. Please don't dismiss it immediately; consider it fully and
try to see what you get if you substitute it for the word "love" above.
The word is {batlh}.
