It would be used in an exchange such as: A: loSmaH romulusngan SuvwI'pu' HoHta' qeng. B: SuD veqlargh mInDu'. A: Kang killed 40 Romulan warriors. B: Somebody is jealous! Speaker "B" is saying that speaker "A" is jealous of Kang. CULTURAL NOTES: (TKW 197) : Fek'lhr is a mythical beast guarding Gre'thor, the place where the spirits of the dishonored dead go. Not really a devil Kang once said that Klingons have no devil [TOS "Day of the Dove"]), is it still a being to be reckoned with. (KGT 130): Fek'lhr is a somewhat ferocious mythological beast that guards the entrance to Gre'thor, the place where the spirits of the dishonored go. TREK TRIVIA: Fek'lhr was first seen in TNG "Devil's Due." "They say there's no Devil." (Commodore Decker to Kirk, TOS "The Doomsday Machine") B'Ellana burned some incense in her quarters, a "combination of mental relaxant and expeller of demons. It's an ancient Klingon remedy."
