<p>The word for <i>goddess</i> is <b>Qun.</b> It's a genderless
word.<br>
</p>
<p>In English, what is the word for a female captain? It's <i>captain.</i>
It's a genderless word.</p>
<p>Nobody demands that we invent a word <i>captainess</i> — in
fact, English is slowly losing its gendered occupation words — so
why would you want a Klingon word for <i>goddess</i> in a
language that already doesn't have any gendered occupation words?</p>
<p>If you want to make sure your audience knows the entity is
female, just say so. <b>be' ghaH Qun'e'.</b><br>
