QeS 'utlh:

Do you mean on {Borg ngogh'a'} for "Borg cube", or just {ngogh'a'} for
"cube"?

I don't think "cube" when I read {ngogh'a'}, just a big block (i.e,
something with six faces, two perpendicular to each 3-D axis, but not
necessarily equal in size).  That may be sufficient to express the idea.  I
don't know my Borg all that well, is it important that it's a cube because
the cubes serve a special function?  Are they the command ships?  Are they
larger than the others?  If the shape isn't the important point but the
role is, maybe it's a {Borg Duj'a'}?  But if the shape matters, then try
something with {meyrI'}, like {Borg meyrI ngogh'a'}?

Without knowing the Klingon word for "cube" (or how Klingons name 3-D
shapes in general), anything that gets across the salient characteristic of
a Borg cube, whatever that is, will do.
