[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word: Soj

HQ 12.3 p.9:  All this talk of pseudohonor and nonhonor logically led to a discussion of honor itself, normally expressed by the nouns {quv} and {batlh}, both usually defined as simply "honor". When asked to distinguish between the two, Maltz said, "{tlhIngan Soj 'oH--not bIyaj}, literally, "It is Klingon food-you will not understand," using {Soj} "food" in its idiomatic sense of "matter, concern, affair".
