My copy does not have a glossary. Nor does it use footnotes. On page 43: "A burden beast, prized in good times for its strength and its ability to plow a field." The milk and cheese reference is apparently on another page. And with regard to the s'tarahk, p43: "Otherwise, the s'tarahk might have been tempted to feed on the carcass,..." And p178: "For two days, Kahless drove his s'tarahk mercilessly, pausing only for the animal to munch on grass and groundnuts, and to water itself." - DloraH On Mon, 2024-12-02 at 16:55 +0000, Steven Boozer via tlhIngan-Hol wrote:
IIRC my quote came from a glossary of Klingon terms at the back of the book, so “carnivorous” would be part of the definition. Coincidentally, there’s another “omnivorous riding animal” called a *s'tarahk* in the book which some fans believe to be a dialectical variant of {Sargh} “sark”.
I have the novel listed in my notes under “Other Sources” which implies that Okrand may have provided some vocabulary. Does anyone have a copy they can check?

A question came up about this on another forum (Discord), but what is the source that the minn'hor is "carnivorous"? Is this explicitly stated or is there some passage in the novel Kahless which implies this?
