Did you know that the modern English word worm used to mean serpent, snake, dragon, reptile? That's why you'll sometimes hear dragons called worms or wyrms. (Dragons were also depicted as snake-like more often back then than they are now.) The word worm (formerly spelled wurm or wyrm) used to mean exactly what the Klingon word ghargh means.
I didn't know any of that! In fact, sometime in the past I came across a passage where the author was constantly using "wyrm", and I thought that it was a typo! -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
