<pre wrap="">I will write the reply in DIvI' Hol, because I'm replying in order to
explain my choice of klingon words.
The "dark" as an adjective describing the demons, hasn't anything to
do with "evil". "dark" expresses the hidden/secret nature of these
beings, let alone that their appearance is far from "dark" "black" or
"scary". furthermore demons are quite capable of appearing as beings
of light too.
If I described the angels as {qa' wov}, I would be attributing to them
a demonic attribute (appearance-wise), and even worst I would be
describing them indirectly as being "good/loving/innocent", which they
sure as hell aren't.</pre>

<p>You're assuming that Klingons use the same metaphor <i>dark</i>
to refer to being hidden or secret. I see no evidence of such a
metaphor in the canon. Frankly, I thought you were literally
referring to demons as lacking in light.</p>
<p>Without a known metaphor, be literal. If demons are hidden, use <b>qa'
leghbe'lu'bogh</b> <i>unseen spirit.</i> If they are secret,
use <b>qa' pegh</b><i> secret spirit.</i> Or find some other,
more appropriate descriptor. But <b>Hurgh</b> just tells me that
either they do not emit or reflect visible-wavelength photons, or
else they're spirit-pickles.<br>
