(qepHom 2015, p.14): "vein" is {'aD}. In general usage, this means either a vein or an artery, so a better translation might be "blood vessel". In medical usage, however, doctors and so on make a distinction between {mej'aD} "artery" and {paw'aD} "vein". Maltz said that he thought that earlier these were {mejmeH 'aD} and {pawmeH 'aD}, but over time they were shortened.
When Picard failed to convince Gov. Vagh that the Federation wasn't supplying weapons to Kriosian rebels, Vagh shouted: "You speak the lies of a *tah-keck*!" Picard calmly leaned forward and replied, "*Qu'vatlh guy'cha b'aka!*" Vagh complimented him, saying: "You swear well, Picard. You must have Klingon blood in your veins." (TNG "The Mind's Eye")
