We have a new noun {ghantoH} "model, example, pattern" (MO > 'ISqu' [1/15/2012]), but this may not be right since IIRC this was a couple of crewmen making racist comments about Klingons:
Maltz is assuming this refers to something one copies
or refers to in making things - or something along
those lines." ['ISqu']
There's also {Segh} "race (type, sort, class)" used twice WRT groups of people:
batlh tlhIngan Segh yIHub
Defend the Klingon race with honor. (ST5 notes)
Hem tlhIngan Segh 'ej maHemtaH 'e' wIHech
Klingons are a proud race, and we intend to go on
being proud. TKW
(N.B. {Segh} is not the same as "species", which is {mut}.)
{Segh} is also used WRT classes of ships:
Segh: bI'rel tlharghDuj
Model: B'rel Scout (KBoP)
You might use {yagh} "organism", {Dep} "being (nonhumanoid)" or {yoq} "humanoid" to render the contempt.
