Anyone ever had cause to render "will" as in "last will and testament" into=
Klingon? I'm about to get into a section of {mIl'oD veDDIr SuvwI'} that us=
es the term often=2C and I'm seriously struggling with anything that's not =
a long circumlocution like {Heghpu'wI' 'aH noblu'meH nab}. We've got quite =
a bit of vocabulary about the practices surrounding death - {SonchIy}=2C {H=
eghtay}=2C {bIreqtal}=2C {lom}=2C {nol}=2C {mol} - but "will" isn't among =
them=2C and nor are any alternatives like "bequeath"=2C "bequest"=2C "inher=
it"=2C "legacy". (Kind of surprising for a culture where House status is su=
ch a prominent part of one's identity. We do have {quH} "heritage"=2C but t=
hat's about as close as it gets. For "bequest"=2C perhaps {quH nob}?)
All suggestions will be much appreciated.
