That explanation is a bit confusing. Let me clarify.

What I meant was, if you pause the show when T'Kuvma says "Torchbearer" in
the English subtitle (he's speaking Klingon), the Klingon subtitle says
{DagheS}, and somebody assumed that that must mean {DagheS} is the Klingon
word for "Torchbearer".

*sigh*
