Do you mean on {Borg ngogh'a'} for "Borg cube", or just {ngogh'a'} for "cub=
e"?
I don't think "cube" when I read {ngogh'a'}, just a big block (i.e, somethi=
ng 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 s=
erve 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 shape=
s in general), anything that gets across the salient characteristic of a Bo=
rg cube, whatever that is, will do.
