: Klingon word:   puqbe'
: Part of Speech: noun
: Definition:     daughter

As used in canon:

  Qoy qeylIS puqloD. Qoy puqbe'pu'.
  Hear! Sons of Kahless. Hear! Daughters too. (Anthem)

"It is always proper to call somebody by his or her name alone... During formal
occasions, it is also not uncommon to refer to someone by his or her father's
name, such as {mogh puqloD} (son of Mogh) or a combination of given name plus
father's name, such as {HuS 'atrom puqbe'} (Huss, daughter of A'trom)." (KGT
p.197) 

"... a parent may address a son as {puqloDoy} and a daughter as {puqbe'oy}. As
with the terms for parents, the {-oy} form is seldom used past the child's Age
of Ascension." (KGT p.198f)
