The word {retlaw} reminded me of the Emperor Reclaw, so I wanted to look up if the name had ever been printed in the original Klingon. I discovered that the novel "The Left Hand of Destiny" contains the following text:
<div><br>
<div>
<div>SuvwI''a' ghaH reQlaw'e'</div>
<div>(For Reclaw was a mighty warrior,)</div>
<div>qu' qabDaj; jev 'e' rur</div>
<div>(Terrible as thunder,)</div>
<div>nom vIHchu'; Hov tIH rur</div>
<div>(Swift as starlight,)</div>
<div>jupDajvaD yoHbej ghaH</div>
<div>(Stalwart to his friends)</div>
<div>jaghDajvaD Heghna' ghaH</div>
<div>(And DEATH to his enemies...)</div>
<div><br>

<div>The original text apparently has a few typos, which are fixed in the copy on Memory Beta. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In any case, this is reasonably good Klingon. Any idea who was responsible for this?</div>
