Yes, I believe that there is a Klingon word for just about everything
one could imagine, although new words are being created all the time.
Marc Okrand, the creator of Klingon, is proud to say that the creation
of new words is one of the hallmarks of a living language. There is a
Klingon version of Hamlet, for example, and the folks on the KLI
Klingon list ([email protected]) are translating the Tao te Ching
into Klingon. Or, as the Klingonists put it, the "original" Klingon
versions of Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing have been "restored" to
the "original" Klingon. ;-)
