There's only one place I can remember "spots" being mentioned in Klingon,
but it doesn't really make a lot of sense. In the DS9 episode "Soldiers of
the Empire", the red-headed Klingon engineer teases one of her crewmates
after Jadzia Dax startles him:
Ros-te-ka cha'Domak ootha Trill?
The intended meaning of the line is "Did you think her spots were going to
bite you?" Maybe there's a Klingon noun *{DIl} or something meaning
"spots" -- or maybe it's just Paramount Dap motlh.
