aha... Hm, perhaps there lies *my* misunderstanding, the use of "for" in this case. Can't I say "spoon is a tool FOR the cook" in the same way as I say "spoon is a word FOR the cook"?
Nevermind, I think this is getting too much off topic. What we certainly know is that {ghIn} is Klingon for "monastery".
But what about a pun? Is there a know monastery that sells gin, maybe?
