let mInDu'Daj; Separmey rur
Her eyes are as hard as *separ*-stones. KGT
("Her eyes are hard; they resemble *separ*")
letqu' QongDaq
The bed is very hard. CK
When Captain K'Vada showed Picard to his quarters aboard his Bird-of-Prey, he slapped the hard bed - more like a sleeping shelf - and sneered, "You will sleep Klingon-style. We do not cushion our bodies by putting down a pad." Nonplussed, Picard slapped the "bed" himself and replied, "Good. I like it that way." (TNG "Unification I")
CK: Since Klingons are accommodating of foreigners, guest rooms in hotels do come equipped with a bed but that it's most often made of the same material as the floor.
N.B. use {Qatlh} for "be hard/difficult"
