Depending on the context consider the verbs {tlha'} "chase, follow";
{ghoch} "track, track down"; {nej} "look for, seek, search for"; {Sam}
"locate, seek, find" and {So'} "hide, conceal".
I suppose {tlha'wI'} "one who chases/follows/pursues" would probably be the
most general. Of course, Klingons might well call such a person a {wamwI'}
"hunter". <g> If so, there's a nice proverb from The Klingon Way which
would then be a double-entendre if you're talking about {parmaq}, the
Klingon word for "love, romance" but "with more aggressive overtones":
QotDI' gheD tlhejbe' wamwI'
The hunter does not lie down with the prey.
