We know from JJ Abrams that even in the future, people use brand names
in the Federation (Nokia, Budweiser). The Klingons must also have an
economy, and brand name products, right?
{waqboch} is obviously a Klingon brand of shoe polish, in addition to
being the name of a bird (I can see now the bird silhouette logo on
the little tin). I don't know about the others.
