It is customary among her people that the man bring a leg of a lingta to the first courtship dinner. Make sure it's fresh, as if you had just killed it. Then use the leg to sweep aside everything on the table and declare in a loud voice, "I have brought you this! From this day, I wish to provide food for you and your House! All I ask is to share your company and do honor to your name!"

It's actually spelt LIngta' but maybe closer to LIngt'a' or to be specific a LIngt'a' Haj'dob mev'obDeSna. Translated to English is roughly 'I am certain that this Lingta leg will feed you'. But Klingons are lazy so it's shortened to LIngta.
