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.
