This idea has been undermined many times since it was first aired. It also doesn't account for the possibility that the attitude might be a modern, and even local, one. That is, not all Klingons, past and present, necessarily consider a corpse to be an useless, empty shell. I don't think you can draw any linguistic conclusions from it.<br>
