KGT 111:  A Klingon *sark* ({Sargh}) is an animal somewhat resembling a Terran horse, both in appearance and in that Klingons (generally individually) often ride on the animal's back. A "forest *sark*" ({ngem Sargh}) is a *sark* found in the forest ({ngem})--that is, in the wild, usually one that has never carried a Klingon around.  [cf. TNG "Pen Pals"]
