>Sorry to borther you again, but I would like to know the definitions of several words. If possible, please help me. In second part of TKD I found:
>naQ - cain, staff (n). What is cain? I did not find "cain" in my English
dictionary.
My guess is that it is a misspelling of cane.
>nenghep - Age of Ascension (n). What is it?
The age at which a Klingon is first recognized as an adult and a warrior.
>nentay - Rite of Ascension (n). What is it?
A ritual of passage involving the use of painsticks - shown in TNG Episode - The Icaras Factor
It is first performed when a young Klingon declares that he wishes to follow the warriors path, again when they are fully recognized as an adult. It is also performed on the 10th anniversary of a Klingon's passage to adulthood.
>peHghep - Age of Inclusion (n). What is it?
Never fully explained in the series, my guess would mark it as the age when a Klingon is no longer seen as an infant
>pIpyuS - pipius (n). What is it?
Another creature used for food. Based on the popularity of Pipius Claw I would equate it to lobster or crab.
>ro'qegh'Iwchab - rokeg blood pie (n). What is it?
Another food item
>ruStay - bonding ritual (n). What is it?
Almost like making someone your blood brother - only a little more binding, You make them a member of your family. Seen in TNG episode The Bonding.
>targh - targ (n). What is it?
A Klingon animal used for food and occasionally as a pet.
