In the Klingon Wiki I've found there is a pun on this word:*babe* (http://klingon.wiki/Word/Be-). I'd like to know if this is confirmed by Okrand?
I've been also wondering if the homonymy with the suffix *-be'* is intentional (e.g. based on some pecularity of the Klingon culture) or just coincidental. I've found this thread here:https://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2003/October/msg00117.html, but since it's a bit old, I don't know if we have more recent information about this.
I haven't heard any such confirmation, and I strongly doubt there is supposed to be any connection between *be'*/woman/ and *-be'*/not./ Sexist jokes are not Okrand's style. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
