[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Haw'

[Steven Boozer]

As used in canon:

  may'meyDajvo' Haw'be' tlhIngan 
  A Klingon does not run away from his battles. TKW

  ghorgh Haw'pu' yaS
  When did the officer flee? TKD

  Haw'pu' yaS 'ar 
  How many officers fled? TKD

  chay' Haw'pu' yaS

[Hmm... apparently this officer didn't get the memo!]

Trek notes:

"I am a Klingon, sir. For me to seek escape when my captain goes into battle...!"
(An indignant Worf, when ordered to take command of the saucer section; Picard bluntly reminded him that he is a Starfleet officer [TNG "Encounter at Farpoint I"])
