ama   		prey on, stalk (verb) 
d'ama 		predator (D-4 class cruiser) FASA
z'mortama   	death stalker FASA (ship class?)

In my klingonaase notes I have *gav* "bird" - I don't remember if I found this or just derived it from the above ship classes.

FYI More avian klingonaase from various sources:

cherwtl   	bird native to Klinzhai

d'lan   		wing FASA
dath d'lan   	one wing (D-11 class destroyer) FASA

withiki   	bird native to Klinzhai
Withiki   	race of intelligent winged beings within the Empire TFR
