But the only "Klingon perspectives" we can be sure of are the ones shown on
screen, with additional support from specific print and audio resources
when it comes to vocabulary.  I can't recall any military context where
"storm" would be an appropriate term for a maneuver, but I can certainly
point to a perfect occasion where the weather term would apply.

If that indeed is Krankor's argument, I dispute it.  Star Trek usage,
especially in the movies, trumps an assumed Klingon perspective.
