How does a coward claim a sword? (PB)

his promised kingdom will be ash by the time he claims the sword (PB)

wIvraj tIDoQ. 
Place your bets. (DSC "Will You Take My Hand?")

TREK NOTES:
  The Tellun Star System is in a border area claimed by the Klingon Empire in 2268. (TOS "Elaan of Troyius")

Perhaps "claim [some thing]" would be a better definition as it's also used for things other than territory.  In fact, do we have any examples WRT claiming territory?
