Used in canon:
naS; norgh rur
"vicious as a norg" KGT
[The {norgh} is a type of animal, a sharklike sea creature (KGT). In the
novel SAREK it was described as a dangerous Klingon predator.]
KCD: The {Qa'} is a "type of vicious animal". The word {Qa'Hom} can
apparently be applied to someone or something that may act like it's a
vicious {Qa'} but is, in fact, just a little, harmless creature, fluffing
itself up to make itself look bigger.
Related verbs:
{qej} "be grouchy, be mean"; {qu'} "be fierce"; {ral} "be violent"
