Or even "eyelid" - assuming Klingons have them (the actors do, of course, but maybe "real" Klingons don't!).  

This is a good opportunity to review eye lore in {tlhIngan Hol}:

  mIn 			eye
  lur 			pupil [of eye]
  Huy'			eyebrow
  mIn QanwI' nguv  	sunglasses (TNK)

KGT 204:  For example, the Klingon word {mIn} means the same thing as its usual Federation Standard translation--"eye"

HQ 12.4:9:  For Klingons, even though there is a word for cry ({SaQ}), there is no word for tear or tears, undoubtedly because Klingons have no tear ducts. The only thing Maltz could think of that eyes do from time to time is redden ({DoqchoH}, literally "become red" or "change to red").

HQ 8.3:  There is also an idiomatic phrase which conveys the idea of jealousy: {SuD veqlargh mInDu'}. Literally, this means "Fek'lhr's eyes are yellow/green", but it is used to express the idea that somebody is jealous. It would be used in an exchange such as: 
     A: {loSmaH romulusngan SuvwI'pu' HoHta' qeng.}
     B: {SuD veqlargh mInDu'.}
     A: Kang killed 40 Romulan warriors.
     B: Somebody is jealous!
Speaker "B" is saying that speaker "A" is jealous of Kang.

Can anyone think of anything else?
