I just looked at it again in the language lab, "Myths and legends".
The first picture shown is a Klingon house (structure, building). On the
left side you can read {qul tuq} and the translation is "A House of
Fire" (when clicking on "more", Mac Okrand says it is an opera, and that
tuq means Family-house not structure-house)
I have no clue why there is a picture of a building shown when
talking about an opera. Perhabs it was a mistake by S&S or someone else.

DaH vay' vIrur - How do we know what Okrand meant when he said that tuq isn't
a structure or building? I don't think we can assume that it doesn't mean the
same thing until we see a lot more examples from him. Until then, I'm going
to use tuq to mean my house that I dwell in. And no one is going to stop me.
