>>Nope.  In fact, {qIrq} (Kirk) is never called "Captain Kirk" in canon.
>>
>> >(HoD = captain, right?
>>
>>Correct.  All examples of {HoD} in canon follow the name:  {janluq pIqarD
>>HoD} Captain Jean-Luc Picard, {qarghan HoD} Captain Kargan, {tlha'a HoD}
>>Captain Klaa.  This is standard practice in Klingon WRT ranks and titles:
>>
>>    When used with an individual's name, a title follows the name: {tlha'a
>>HoD}
>>    (Captain Klaa), {cheng Sa'} (General Chang), {qeng la'} (Commander 
>>Kang),
>>    and so on. (KGT 52)
>>
>>    If someone has an official title, such as a military rank or a 
>>position
>>in
>>    the government, this title follows the name; for example, {martaq Sa'}
>>    (General Martok), {ghawran Qang} (Chancellor Gowron). When addressing
>>such
>>    a person, the title is left off only when the occasion is decidedly
>>nonofficial.
>>    (KGT 197f)
