… and royal names:

 

(KGT 126):   In Shakespeare's original Klingon version of HenrI' vagh, known in Federation Standard as Henry V, HenrI', the Supreme Commander, gets into an argument with one of his troops the night before a great battle.

The point here is that royal names are read out using the cardinal number (just like planet names), not the ordinal with –DIch as in, say, English king Henry the Eighth. 

For slightly different reasons. Do'natu vagh is not Donatu Number Five; the vagh five is just a label that happens to follow a numeric sequence. HenrI' vagh, however, actually is the Henry Number Five.

I wonder how Klingons would translate the names Ingraham B and Theta Cygni XII?
