Morath wakes his father,
The old Kanjit,
His hearts* weak, but proud.

* Klingons have doubled up internal organs, so also two hearts; cf. the sce=
ne in which Kahless takes out Molor's hears (paq'raD 46-8).
--------------------------------------------------
Previously, it's been stated in Star Trek that Klingons have a single, eigh=
t-chambered heart.
One can probably reconcile these two statements by suggesting that the Klin=
gon heart is divided into two attached parts with four chambers each, and t=
hat it's possible for one to function if the other is destroyed. Then, it'd=
be a matter of interpretation if a Klingon has one heart or two. Similar t=
o our lungs, in a way.
