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.
