No problem nIqolay Q ! We're all friends here. Often, because of the unique character traits of each person, perhaps one can misunderstand the other. But since we definitely respect each other, at the end there is never a problem.

Are you serious ? Do you really expect this kind of arguments to be taken seriously ?

If you're going to be "in-character" and treat Klingon culture as if it's a real thing, then you also have to treat the Klingon language as something we only know about from the incomplete information told to us by a single grouchy Klingon.

It's one thing to wonder in-character why no one's ever asked Maltz about spoils or why Maltz has never brought them up, but acting like there is some major deficiency in the depiction of Klingon culture simply because Marc Okrand hasn't worked his way through every entry in Merriam-Webster strikes me as incredibly stupid.

You have to learn to speak mayqel-ese. I took his initial post to mean, not "Klingon culture and language is stupid because they don't have a word for spoils," but "Klingons obviously have to have a word for spoils, don't they?"

toH! mayqel, nom jIghoH, 'ach QIt jIyaj. I've certainly made similar arguments before about words we don't know yet. veS tev (I suppose it would be noH tev if you're talking about specific spoils from a specific war) strikes me as a particularly good phrase.
