The verb {rIQ} has two meanings:
1. be injured 2. be damaged
They're the same meaning.
And we see the "be damaged" meaning in the following Ca'Non sentence:
Dumer DIvI' QaS 'ej DuHIv, vaj bIwunchoH 'ej bIrIQchoH Surprise attack by Federation leaves you unprotected and damaged. MKE
What I'm wondering (since I don't know the context of the Ca'Non sentence in question) is this:
Can we use the {rIQ} for inanimate objects too (e.g. buildings, vessels, etc) meaning that they are damaged,
I don't know if it can be done generally, but that specific Klingon Monopoly card is identifying damage to the player's forces with injury to the player.
or does the mke sentence refer to the physical body of the player which has been damaged i.e. injured?
Some of the game cards identify the player with his/her forces (troops and buildings). When it says "you" are damaged/injured, it's talking about the players' forces. The word {rIQ} appears on another card (where its meaning is about injured warriors): {jorwI'mey ghaymo' qarDaSnganpu', Hegh SuvwI'pu'lI' law' 'ej rIQ SuvwI'pu'lI' law'} "Suffer major losses after Cardassian bombing campaign." -- De'vID
