Category: People
Klingon word: SuvwI'
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: warrior
Source: TKD-A (184 KE, 191 EK)
Swedish: krigare
Additional Notes:
KGT p. 49: The quintessential Klingon person, of course, is the warrior, and there are several words for "warrior." The most commonly heard term is {SuvwI'} (literally, "one who fights" or "fighter"). This word is used in most circumstances and is never inappropriate. Indeed, it is often preferred because it states explicitly what a warrior does: fight. Other words for "warrior" are {mang} and {vaj}.
Synonyms: mang, vaj
