I think that Jackson is right. AFAIK all the items tagged with {naH} or {naHmey} are Terran:
I couldn’t find any native Klingon fruit or vegetables tagged with {naH}. And why would they be? Every Klingon knows what a {peb’ot} or a {Hurgh} is! But what in the world is a {‘epIl} or a {banan}?
There is a long tradition in Star Trek of naming an alien thing with an alien name and then a common word to ground the viewer. Moba fruit http://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Moba_fruit Chee'lash fruit https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chee%27lash_fruit Lokar bean https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lokar_bean And so on. Okrand is doing the same thing. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
