If you were to render the noun, you would wind up with an awkward definition,
not a translation: {not (vay') ngaghpu'wI'} "one who has never mated (with
anyone)." English sentences tend to be noun-centered, Klingon verb-centered.
Let this tendency work for you. If you're stuck on a noun, try to "recast"
the
phrase using a verb:
May you die before you have mated.
