(De'vID < MO, 2/17/2018):  The traditional/old Klingon way of keeping score involves cutting oneself ({pe''egh}), and this is the term still in use. A tally or (total) score follows the same tradition. They say {mIvwa'mey}, literally "scars" (even though, in traditional scorekeeping, the cuts turn to scabs and eventually go away). This term is also used for census or headcount  ...  Maltz wasn't sure how statistics would be distinguished from tally in this context, but maybe {mIvwa'mey poj} "tally analysis" or {mI' poj} "number analysis" would work.
