Thinking more about it, I believe it's not a metaphor. But I'm not a
linguist.

In this direction - nothing. But if somebody asks if there are any
common metaphors in Klingon, I'd like to have an answer.

Okrand has sometimes even written "bla is used metaphorically" so I like
making a list of all "bla" in connection with being "used metaphorically".
