It is ridiculous, and that's an understatement, that the mighty "warrior's language", doesn't have a word for "spoils".

How do you know it doesn't? Do you have your own Maltz living in your basement? It's true that there is no word that means "spoils" that we know of yet. All that means is that Marc Okrand hasn't gotten around to asking Maltz about it. It doesn't necessarily say anything at all about Klingon culture.

There was no word for "bridge" (as in the kind that goes over a river) until 2012. Does that mean Klingons didn't discover bridges until then? We don't yet know the Klingon expression for a "Heisenberg compensator" (an integral part of transporter technology), yet Klingons manage to transport themselves all over just fine.
