> tlhIngan toQDuj Duj De' potlh

> klingon bird of prey general specifications

Isn't here the {Duj} after the {toQDuj} redundant/weird/unnecessary ? {toQDuj} by itself means "bird of prey vessel"; so why place a {Duj} after it ?

My guess is that De' potlh means important information, which is a very general thing, while Duj De' potlh would be very important information about the ship, i.e., ship specifications. Perhaps when I'm looking to order a computer I might look up the De'wI' De' potlh computer specifications.

> tlhIngan qorDu' potlh
> Klingon Family Values

I can't understand how the english translation results from this klingon sentence. All I get is "something consequential/important of klingon family".

Dunno. These days we'd probably say tlhIngan qorDu' qangtlhIn, but that last word didn't exist when the card was published.
