My dictionary defines "honour" as: "A reputation for high standards of
conduct.
Glory, fame, credit, a privilige..." that sounds to me like something that
is gained,
or perhaps a more suitable word would be <baj> "earn".
Since I do not know of any Kingon words for "reputation", "fame" or even
"glory"
I decided that <quv> "honour" was the right word.
So that would leave me with <quv vIbajmeH jIQojchu'>, could that work?
