Used in canon:
naS; norgh rur
vicious as a *norg* KGT
FYI: The {norgh} is a sharklike sea creature (KGT), a dangerous Klingon
predator (cf. SAREK).
The {Qa'} is a "type of vicious animal" (TKD?). The word {Qa'Hom} can be
applied to someone (or some animal) that may act like it's a vicious {Qa'}
but is, in fact, just a little, harmless creature, fluffing itself up to
make itself look bigger (KCD).
Related verbs include {qej} "be grouchy, be mean"; {qu'} "be fierce" and
{ral} "be violent".
