The difference is: You can use any noun as an exclamation, but not the other
way. Most
exclamations "stand as sentences in their own
right." (TKD 5.5)
In Terran languages, this is the same:
Nouns as exclamation:
Greetings! Hell! Suerte! Scheisse! God! Klote! Attention!
(different languages)
But don't forget: in Klingon grammar terms, there are only three kinds of
words: verbs,
nouns, and the rest.
