IIRC my quote came from a glossary of Klingon terms at the back of the book, so “carnivorous” would be part of the definition.  Coincidentally, there’s another “omnivorous riding animal” called a *s'tarahk* in the book which some fans believe to be a dialectical variant of {Sargh} “sark”. 

I have the novel listed in my notes under “Other Sources” which implies that Okrand may have provided some vocabulary.  Does anyone have a copy they can check?

A question came up about this on another forum (Discord), but what is the source that the minn'hor is "carnivorous"? Is this explicitly stated or is there some passage in the novel Kahless which implies this?
