  family's house. He wears it proudly as a reminder
  of his heritage. S20

[Could {quH} have originally been a typo for {qun} on the SkyBox card?  The keys are adjacent on the keyboard.]

Cultural notes:

KGT 133:  Klingons revere their ancestors, respect their elders, and have unparalleled veneration for heritage. [...] Younger Klingons, while accepting their heritage and observing the ancient rites, see some aspects of their elders' behavior and beliefs as, if not obsolete, then just old-fashioned.
