It is not culturally important to them, anymore than a “Galaxy Class” or “Class III Neutronic Carrier” would be to a human/federation race.

So why don’t the translators call them Raptors?
wombatula@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Because “Raptor” is another class of ship, even smaller than a “Bird of Prey”, used mainly as a scout ship by the Klingons.
Sorry to ruin your “gotcha” moment.

Uh huh.
Which do you think was introduced to the canon first?
wombatula@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I literally just told you, size. You can go look up the exact ship specifications if you want, the Raptor is a small scout ship, the BoP is a mid-size warship, and the Warbird is a full-sized warship.
Also what are you even talking about, what came into canon first? Of course the Bird of Prey, its from ToS, I do not understand how that is relevant to the discussion.
