>>>Klingons themselves value honor, which could be argued is a
combination of the two (ie., honour is being brave enought to act
upon one's loyalties) but I think that while Word [Worf] is loyal, he
is more likely to be brave and play hero to make him
more "honorfical" (exuse the made up word), than help somebody when
it could defame himself.<<<

Me:
Worf is loyal, and honorable, he is a True Klingon, and I think that
if he had to choose between playing the hero and helping someone (of
course when his help is justifiable and honorable), he would chose
helping someone. Remember that TNG episode where he discovers
corruption in the Klingon government and he prefers being dishonored
rather than plunge his homeworld into a civil war? He was shunned
from his own society for doing what he considered honorable and
right. I think that Worf's sense of honor goes beyond being strong,
and getting medallions. His sense of honor encompasses also doing
what's right, and not being afraid of being different (he is the only
Klingon in Starfleet), and getting up and facing his own life rather
than kill himself (after his injury, that he spent a lot of time
doing physiotherapy and sulking and ranting and making Alexander (or
was it Riker? or Picard? damn....) promise to kill him), which would
have been the "appropriate" Klingon response to being so severely
injured.
Just my 2 cents as a devoted Star Trek enthusiastic fan (don't like
the terms "Trekkie" and "Trekker")
