*tlhub****n *climax [Height of action in a narrative (not orgasm)]
While talking about something else, I mentioned this to Marc Okrand. He made clear that this is not about avoiding to speak about sexual topics. The addition was simply to make clear that in Klingon, there are two different words for these two different things. He also agreed that when using this word for a sexual climax would sound pretty awkward. I guess he anticipated questions in the type of "Can this word be used for xyz as well?" so we now know the answer. There are many cases in Klingon (and other languages) where you have two different words for two different things in one language while the other language might have one word that worls for both. -- Lieven L.
