So, my question comes up, can I refer to my manager at work as /vu'wI'/ or
does /vu'wI'/ have a connotation as something that is not a sentient
being?  Being Klingon, perhaps a person would not be a /vu'wI'/, but would
rather be a /la'/ or /ra'wI'/...?

Or is it a context thing, such as in English, where a "translator" could
be a person or device?
