Tova'dok

Tova'dok was a Klingon concept of which there was no English language equivalent; however it could be roughly translated as a "a moment of clarity between two warriors on a field of battle."
Worf experienced a moment of tova'dok with General Martok in Internment Camp 371 in 2373. Worf was forced to fight the Jem'Hadar in series of one-on-one bouts and, unable to see a means of escape, he eventually decided to allow the Jem'Hadar to kill him. In a moment of tova'dok, Martok saw what Worf was planning, which gave Worf reason to keep fighting. Worf described the incident as Martok giving him "his [Martok's] warrior's [heart]."
Several months later, Worf experienced another moment of tova'dok when he challenged Martok aboard the . Worf recognized that Martok had recovered his resolve and so deliberately dropped his guard, allowing Martok to win. ()
