Actually, we may: {Suto'vo'qor}. (Yes, with a /u/ instead of the expected
/I/!) My notes say that Marc Okrand provided a few words Keith R.A.
DeCandido's novel "Diplomatic Implausibility" where this spelling is to be
found. The glossary in the back of the novel goes on to define Sto-Vo-Kor
as "the afterlife for the honored dead, where all true warriors go after
they die to fight an eternal battle. The closest Klingon equivalent to
heaven."
