<div>Use the idiom that came with it. I'd say something like:<br>
<br>
{Ha'DIbaH neH Sop loDnal 'ach, ro' mojchugh ghIt, naH neH Sop
be'nalDaj}<br>
"The husband eats only meat, whereas his wife eats only
vegetables"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>{mIp ghowron 'ej ngeD yInDaj 'ach, ro' mojchugh ghIt, mIpHa'
torgh 'ej Qatlhqu' yInDaj}<br>
"Gowron is rich and his life is easy, whereas Torg is poor and
his life is very difficult"</div>

<p>But is <i>whereas</i> simply a synonym for <i>but,</i> or is
there some subtle difference? The idiomatic expression appears to
be an alternative to using <b>'ach</b> as <i>whereas,</i> but it
is not made clear what the difference between <i>but</i> and <i>whereas</i>
is supposed to be.</p>
<p>Dictionary.com defines this kind of <i>but</i> as "on the
contrary," and <i>whereas </i>as "while on the contrary." Not
much difference there.</p>
<p>It looks like Okrand is using <i>whereas</i> to contrast two
approximately equal alternatives, and that this is somehow
different from ordinary <i>but.</i> If this is the case, then <b>'ach</b>
meaning both of them means Klingon doesn't distinguish this
meaning except with the idiomatic expression.<br>
