pollaH pagh polHa'laH, qar'a'? A distinction without a difference, so
to speak? (Or is Marc only speaking "ex cathedra" when Maltz is
summoned? :-) )

So how would one talk about an alien species with front and back hands
(in addition to left and right ones)? {nIHDaj ghop, ghaH 'em ghop je}?

The only instance {vogh} I recall is {vogh vISuch vIneH} from
Conversational Klingon, from which we can't infer anything.
Are there any other uses of {vogh} in canon?
