As used in canon:

  rIQ qewwI'wIj
   my ring finger is injured (HQ 10.2)

Cultural note:

   Despite the considerable sophistication of Klingon technology,
   significant gaps exist in Klingon medical science, in part due
   to cultural biases that injured warriors should be left to die
   or to carry out the Hegh'bat ({Heghbat}). (TNG "Ethics")

Cf. {rIQmoH} "injure"

   qewwI'wIj DarIQmoHpu'
   you injured my ring finger (HQ 10.2)

Cf. also the verb {QID} "wound".
