qonwI' - Recorder
DaqwI' - Eaves-dropper
DaqmeH jan - Eavesdropping device
DaqmeH pat - Eavesdropping system (could be used to refer to a network of DaqwI'pu')
The question is what conotations the word Daq has in Klingon. If it has the same negative connotations as the English word "eavesdrop", or implies subterfuge (which is not really the case with II; everyone know about them), then it's probably not used in these devices' official names.
Does anybody remember what these were called in The Final Reflection?

Subject: Listening device
I am writing my first short story in tlhIngan Hol...so far so good (I think) but I am searching for the correct term for basically a "survelliance device"...like the monitoring device seen in "Errand of Mercy". I am assuming that such devices would be found throughout a ship...they are important to my story. Would DaqwI' ("eavesdropper"?) work? If I am missing the correct term please tell me, but I cant find it anywhere. QoywI'?
