It could apply to a ship carrying useless things, or a ship owned by a useless person (<b>vIqawchu'chugh</b>, the use on the Klingon CD shows <b>tu'HomI'raH</b> can be used as an insult).<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">(<b>tu'HomI'raH</b> also seems like it might be a stronger sentiment than <b>lI'be'</b>, since it's a very long root word, and Klingons tend towards conciseness. Even <b>lI'be'wI'</b> would be shorter. I feel like something's uselessness would have to be pretty noteworthy to warrant all those syllables.)<br></div></div></div>
