Do you mean on {Borg ngogh'a'} for "Borg cube", or just {ngogh'a'} for
"cube"?
I don't think "cube" when I read {ngogh'a'}, just a big block (i.e,
something with six faces, two perpendicular to each 3-D axis, but not
necessarily equal in size). That may be sufficient to express the idea. I
don't know my Borg all that well, is it important that it's a cube because
the cubes serve a special function? Are they the command ships? Are they
larger than the others? If the shape isn't the important point but the
role is, maybe it's a {Borg Duj'a'}? But if the shape matters, then try
something with {meyrI'}, like {Borg meyrI ngogh'a'}?
Without knowing the Klingon word for "cube" (or how Klingons name 3-D
shapes in general), anything that gets across the salient characteristic of
a Borg cube, whatever that is, will do.
