Good memory:

   When translating from one language to another, some concepts
   are easily conveyed. For example, the Klingon word {mIn} means
   the same thing as its usual Federation Standard translation--
   "eye", {Hov} refers to the same celestial object as "star",
   and either {cha'pujqutmey} or "dilithium crystals" will work
   in a warp drive system.  [KGT p.204]
