The presence of a particular sense of a word in an English dictionary doesn't prove that that sense is included in the Klingon word's meaning. However, if we lack any restriction on the matching senses of a Klingon word, there's no reason to use any sense that seems warranted. All we know is *teblaw'* /jurisdiction (n),/ so you may as well use it with any sense you feel is appropriate. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
