>Klingon word:   pe''egh
>Part of Speech: verb
>Definition:     keep score

Used in canon:

   potlhbe'chugh yay qatlh pe''eghlu'?
   If winning is not important, then why keep score? TKW

Literally "cut oneself":

   It comes from an old Klingon habit of keeping track of accomplishments
   by making small cuts on one's skin, usually on the face, as a tally.
   [TKW 135]

{Quj} play a game;  {SuD} gamble
