[tlhIngan Hol] is {tlhInja} chess

A little bird told me that the {tlhInja} is a game of strategy which has been compared to chess. Cutting through the crap of "what something actually is to a non-existent alien race", does this info on {tlhInja} mean that in the same way we say {vIghro'} for "cat", {lIr} for "owl", etc, we can say {tlhInja} for chess? ~ Dana'an
