Correct, but according to Marc Okrand 'What do you want' is the closest you're going to get to a greeting in Klingon.

I was just about to say that as well :-D

"On page 10 of the current printing of The Klingon Dictionary, it clarifies the fact that there's no literal translation for 'Hello" or other typical greetings. Here is the excerpt: There are no words for greetings, such as hello, how are you, good morning, and so on. It seems apparent that such words and phrases simply do not exist in Klingon. When two Klingons meet each other (except in cases where military protocol determines behavior), if anything of an introductory nature is said, it is an expression that can best be translated as What do you want? Unlike most speakers of English, who begin conversations with greetings, inquiries about the state of health of the conversants, and remarks about the weather, Klingons tend to begin conversations by simply stating the main points.
