BTW, the explanation of this word makes me question whether Kermit the Frog would be described as {qo'rob}. Or perhaps, if the word means one state under the control of another, Klingons would make the same metaphorical connection, only in reverse.
He wouldn't be. A few lines further down is:
*SIrgh raghghan* puppet (n) (literally “string doll”, the doll that is used in performances)
At the qep'a' I had a conversation about whether {naQ raghghan} would also be understood as a type of puppet.

So I'm thinking the *SIrgh* in *SIrgh raghghan* must refer to the strings that control a marionette. Wouldn't Kermit be a *ghop raghghan* then? ~mIp'av
