<p>Klingon for the Galactic Traveler describes a {Sargh} ("sark") as</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<p>"an animal somewhat resembling a Terran horse, both in appearance and in that Klingons (generally individually) often ride on the animal's back"</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In the TNG episode "Pen Pals", Picard had the following exchange with the holodeck computer:<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>PICARD: Computer, programme the holodeck for a woodland setting, with a bridle path and an appropriate mount.<br>
COMPUTER: Type of mount? Andorian Zabathu, Klingon Sark, ...<br>
PICARD: Horse. Earth horse.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>According to The Starfleet Survival Guide, these beasts of burden are "omnivorous quadruped equine" lifeforms that "are similar in size and behavior to Terran horses and Talnerian riding lizards".<br>
They stand "roughly 2.5 to 2.9 meters tall at the shoulder, and mature adults weigh in excess of 340 kilograms".<br>
They have "coarse, shaggy coats of fur" in a variety of colors.</p>
<p>They can accelerate from a standstill to speeds greater than 80 km/h in less than 12 seconds.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>An important difference between sarks and horses is that sarks have two straight, sharp horns that can extend more than a meter in front of their heads.</p>
<p>They also have spiked, flail-like tails.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Males are known to be fiercely territorial, and approaching a female may enrage them. They have been known to disembowel people in a single pass.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In other words, I'm sure you could describe a horse as a {tera' Sargh}, and I believe many in the community do. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if a Klingon would describe it as a {Sarghqoq} when they see it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to find out how to say "horse" in Klingon. Apparently there are Kronos equivalents for many common English animal names (a jentu' is obviously a penguin, for instance), but I can't find the Klingon equivalent of a horse. You'd think
that for such a common animal word there would be a Klingon equivalent in use. Does Kronos have a horse-analogue, and if so, what is the name of it?<br>
