If you're going to be "in-character" and treat Klingon culture as if it's a
real thing, then you also have to treat the Klingon language as something
we only know about from the incomplete information told to us by a single
grouchy Klingon.
It's one thing to wonder in-character why no one's ever asked Maltz about
spoils or why Maltz has never brought them up, but acting like there is
some major deficiency in the depiction of Klingon culture simply because
Marc Okrand hasn't worked his way through every entry in Merriam-Webster
strikes me as incredibly stupid.
