[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: DavHam
Part of speech: noun
Definition: false honor
Source: HQ (12:3 p9)
_______________________________________________

(HQ 12.3:9):  Maltz mentioned one noun associated with these verbs, {DavHam}, which he defined simply as false honor, but which really covers the same semantic ground as both {HoQ} and {Qaq} (but not really {mIl}).  {DavHam} is different from {quvHa'ghach} "dishonor" (noun) in that the latter does not imply seeming to be honorable or the appearance of honorability, but rather the lack of or loss of honor.
