Probably you're right; I wasn't sure myself what the actual meaning of
this phrase was, so I translated (roughly) what I found here:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/man-is-the-measure-of-all-things
I thought of writing {Hoch juvmeH SommI' ghaH nuv'e'}, but it sounded
as if someone literally took a person, and used him/her to literally
measure something. So, feeling that it was a ridiculous thing to say
in Klingon, I abandoned the idea, and went with roughly translating
the dictionary.com suggestion.
