Honestly, there seem to be a lot of people looking for this word when
we've got a pretty good circumstantial case that Klingons just don't have this as a distinct part of their courtship behaviours.
We do have {chop} "bite" as well as {rem} "suck" (compare the English
slang term "sucking face"), which should pretty much cover the requisite actions beyond {wuSDu'chaj HotchuqmoH}.

But when you're dealing with a text that involves sucking, biting, and kissing, it's nice to be able to clearly distinguish each act. {'I'DajDaq wuSDaj lo'} ? ~naHQun -- ~Michael Roney, Jr. Freelance Translator
