We initially only knew of rav as the word for "floor" (from TKD), but the Klingon Bird-of-Prey poster ( http://klingonska.org/canon/search/?file=1998-11-01-bop.txt&get=source ) revealed this sentence:
{Hung buv rav: patlh Hut}
Classified Level 9 and Above
"Security classification floor: Level 9"
Similarly, it revealed that the word for maximum was 'aqroS (which would also later be revealed to mean the inside of the top of something (such as the ceiling of the area beneath a table; http://klingonska.org/canon/search/?file=1999-09-holqed-08-3.txt&get=source ).
On another note: It seems the boards haven't been printed yet, so some of the words on it may yet change.

Isn't the literal translation rather "maturation level"? Is there a
canonical translation "minimum" for {rav} that I didn't know of? Your
literal translations makes more sense to me than what I would have said.
After all, "Maturation level: eight years old" sounds like only 8 year olds
could play the game. ;)
