Of course, with Klingons pretty much anything can trigger a duel. <g> SEE: puq child (n) tlhogh marriage (n) SEE ALSO: ghu baby (n) ghubDaQ first-born child (n) vum contemptible/despicable person, scumbag, bastard (n) (epithet) petaQ all-purpose Klingon insult (n) (epithet) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
