"be immortal"

Neither have been used in canon.

Cultural notes:

   Great accomplishments are commonly immortalized in song, as are Klingon
   attitudes. Because songs are repeated, the same way proverbs are repeated,
   they help to preserve tradition as well as to teach the young.  (TKW 15)

Related verbs:

{Hegh} "die" & {HeghmoH} "be fatal"; {muH} "execute/put to death"; {chot} 
"murder"; {HoH} "kill"

{yIn} "live, survive"; {taH} "go on, endure, survive"

Related nouns:

{Hegh} "death"; {HoH} "killing"

{yIn} "life"
