Does anyone know any Klingonaase curses or insults (not swearwords), more the sort of thing that appeared in the curse warfare thread, but more specifically Klingonaase rather than tlhingan Hol?

klingonaase is definitely the more nuanceed than tlhIngan Hol; perhaps because of this, it is ideally suited for advanced curse warfare. However, the relative lack of words with which to construct a proper insut may prove an impediment to all but the most skilled word slayers. One wanting to use klingonaase specifically is largely limited to getting creative with the words straav’/e (slave) and kuve (servitor)


The klingonaase vocablulary thread yields the following isults:

TFR --
  kuvekhestat - Worthless slave(s)
  kuveleta - Half-slave; an insult
  tokhe straav' - Willing slave. Just about the worst insult one can call a Klingon.
  humanai kuvest' - Either "human slave" or "slave of the humans."

HMFJTP --
  sliketh - nasty critters along the lines of huge sewer rats that live in the unmonitered areas of larger ships. Described as one-half to two meters long with large fangs and/or a spiked tail

The less credible FASA materials --
  urtal'anda -- "Earther", literally "big man of Earth". An insult applied to most Humans, whether or not of they are of Terran origin. "Big man" implies that Earth dominates the Federation and that the Human(oid) in question accepts such subjugation.
  d'walsk -- calculating machine. An insult commonly aimed at Vulcans
  f'lansopra -- (elective) vegetarian, literally "leaf-eater" (ditto)
  g'nas -- unattractive for mating
