That's true, and they may have a word for it. My intention was not to
suggest there wasn't, but a reason to why there may not be. If you're
always invading places you aren't focused on taking resources back to the
home world in the way the Greeks took stuff back home from Troy. It's just
a different mindset.
To me it's fun to hypothesis about the language based on our current Trek
canon as I'm much more into Klingon stuff as a whole and not just the
language by itself. :)
