Related nouns:
{'uS} leg; {qam} foot; cf. also {qIvon} "body part (not further
identified)" in KGT.
TKW 174: It is not clear what a {qIvon} is, aside from the fact that it is
a Klingon body part...
"Klingonese word (pronounced "KEE-von") for an object of anatomy,
apparently coming at least in pairs: Kor's left *QiVon* aches whenever his
ship hits Warp-Factor 8. (Blood Oath)" (STC:KLS)
The Okuda _Omnipedia_ identifies *QiVon* as being another word for knee.
