		<description>Actually, the manuscript appears to be correct on all these points, as I shall detail:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;1- “Sword” should read “bat’leth.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Bat%27leth" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bat'leth&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is Klingon for "sword of honour"; often translated by the generic "sword", as in the "sword of Kahless", which is a &lt;em&gt;bat'leth&lt;/em&gt;.
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;2- Kahless is not God. The Klingons killed their gods long ago, as per Worf in “Cordially Invited.” The manuscript is probably corrupted and originally read, “Along came Kahless and killed the Gods.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Kortar" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kortar&lt;/a&gt; was the first Klingon who slew the gods. Kahless slew Molor.
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;3- Molor is not the Angel of Death. At best, he is Asmodeus/Samael/Amalek. Probably not Esau, though, because the Klingons are all kind of like Esau (hairy, reddish, warlike).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Kahless is at the end of the song; it therefore follows that he should have slain Molor (see #2).</description>

		<description>Point(s) of order:

1- "Sword" should read "bat'leth."
2- Kahless is not God. The Klingons killed their gods long ago, as per Worf in "Cordially Invited." The manuscript is probably corrupted and originally read, "Along came Kahless and killed the Gods."
3- Molor is not the Angel of Death. At best, he is Asmodeus/Samael/Amalek. Probably not Esau, though, because the Klingons are all kind of like Esau (hairy, reddish, warlike).

4- Nerd.</description>
