KGT 73: The independent words for the numbers three through nine were not originally a part of the Klingon counting system, but they had to come from somewhere. The musical scale is the likely source. The word for the fourth musical tone, {loS}, began to be used for the number four, and so on through the eighth tone, {chorgh}. (The origins of the words {Hut} [nine] and the suffix {-maH}, used in the words for ten, twenty, thirty, and so on, are obscure.)
KCD: The Chalice of Kahless is kept full of wine in front of "The Tracker" sculpture and refilled every ninth day, just in case Kahless returns.
