At star trek discovery, there is the sentence:
{buQwI'vam 'omlu'meH wa' mIw tu'lu'} there is one way to confront this threat
Can someone explain, why {buQwI'} means "threat", and not "threatener" ?
This is actually easy to answer: It's the english which is confusing, not the Klingon. In the phrase, they are talking about the federation, which is the threatener indeed. So there is nothing wrong with the {buQwI'}, the "one who is threatening." -- Lieven L.
