: KCD's Language Lab yields the following:
: {charghbej vIt}
: "The truth shall conquer."
: Marc Okrand adds,
: In this Klingon proverb, the suffix {-bej}, following the verb {chargh}
: "conquer," means "certainly" or "undoubtedly." Thus, "there's no doubt
: that the truth shall conquer." The word for "truth" is {vIt}, and it's
: also found in the word {vItHay'}, the "truth test."

Thanks again for the citation. From the novelization I knew that this
refered to the Klingon belief that in a duel, whoever has the truth on
his/her side will emerge victorious. Sort of a warrior's ordeal or trial by
fire. Whether this is really true... well, I guess it was for Vok.
