When you do, please post it here.
As to what *mek'leth* really "means", you'll have to ask the Paramount
writers. Like the *bat'leth*, Okrand merely translated it into tlhIngan Hol,
but it was writers who invented it in first place.
One way to do this is to consult the latest edition of _The Star Trek
Encyclopedia_ or its electronic version, _The Star Trek Omnipedia_. Another
place to look is the Klingon Compendium section of the official Star Trek
Continuum site (www.startrek.com). Both of these were compiled from notes and
reference materials used by the Paramount writing staff and are good places to
track down official (i.e. non-Okrandian) spellings of words and identify the
episodes they first appeared in.
