Does porgh refer only to a human body ?
Out of curiosity mostly.. Is {porgh} able to describe the body of an animal too, or is it only to be used for human/humanoid species ? qunnoH ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

I don't know of anything that answers this question specifically. What leads you to worry that it might be wrong for nonhumanoids? -- ghunchu'wI'
Except for {gham} and {ghIv} (are there any other exceptions?), analogous animal and humanoid body parts are named alike, so why not the whole {porgh}? Unless Maltz has something to say on the matter... ~mIp'av

Perhaps the word {'oynot} led me to believe that since it is to be used in reference to "animal flesh", then {porgh} is to be used solely for humanoids. Anyway, there is another thing which came to my mind right now.. How would describe "human flesh" ?

{tera'ngan 'oynot} or {tera'ngan porgh}, I'd think
If I was trying to find a way to say "human flesh" then the only solution I could think of, would be {Human 'oynot} or {tera'ngan 'oynot} (as you already suggested). But the question is "how would a klingon understand the {Human/tera'ngan 'oynot}" ? Would he understand "human flesh", or would he understand "human animal flesh" (which doesn't make much sense). I believe that a human would indeed understand the {Human/tera'ngan 'oynot} as "human flesh". But as far as the klingon mind is concerned, I truly don't know. Only maltz can tell us.. qunnoH ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 6 Nov 2016 5:01 pm, "David Joslyn" <gaerfindel@hotmail.com> wrote:
