A {lotlhmoq} sounds like a kind of bird of prey. A {qISa'ruj} also
sounds like a kind of bird of prey, though we don't know the word
except through the ship class.

<According to Marc, a {toQ} is a Klingon avian analogous to a
Terran bird of prey.  {toQ} does not *literally* mean "bird of prey",
it's merely one type of creature which exhibits characteristics similar
to that gouping of Terran birds.>
