_______________________________________________

(De'vID < MO, 2/17/2018):  The traditional/old Klingon way of keeping score involves cutting oneself ({pe’’egh}), and this is the term still in use. A tally or (total) score follows the same tradition. They say {mIvwa’mey}, literally "scars" (even though, in traditional scorekeeping, the cuts turn to scabs and eventually go away). This term is also used for "census" or "headcount".  […]  Maltz wasn’t sure how statistics would be distinguished from tally in this context, but maybe {mIvwa’mey poj} "tally analysis" or {mI’ poj} "number analysis" would work.

mIvwa'mey poj 	statistics (i.e. tally) (n)
