[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: che'

[Steven Boozer]

Ah, the dangers of copy-and-paste!  Thanks for the correction.  Add to these

qumwI'                governor (n)
la'quv                   supreme commander (n)
HI''a'                     tyrant (n)
 - molor HI’’a’       “the tyrant Molor” (PB)

And, as always, a relevant quotation suitable for translation (for those of us so inclined):

"Which is better — to be ruled by one tyrant three thousand miles away, or three thousand tyrants one mile away?" (Rev. Mather Blyes, 1706-1788, British loyalist)

One error in the list of related words, for {HI'tuy} it should say "dictatorship (n)." Perhaps not unrelated, {HI'} "dictator (n)" does not appear in the list.

Some more related words, to name a few:

qum                 government (n)
loH                  administration (n)
Qang               chancellor (n)
ta'                    emperor (n)
voDleH           emperor (n)
rubyo'              politician (n)
