Add to this {lIwnal} "concubine":

Maltz thought the best word for this might be lIwnal, though maybe not:
the cultural connotations are a bit different since, in Klingon culture,
everything associated with a {lIwnal} lacks honor, and this is not
necessarily the case for a (Terran) king's concubines or courtesans.
Note that only married people could have a partner who could be
considered a {lIwnal}. Also, {lIwnal} could be male or female, so if
it's necessary to distinguish, say {loD lIwnal} or {be' lIwnal}.
