QonwI'

 qonwI'  is a tlhIngan Hol word that is commonly translated as "composer", and can refer to an author, songwriter, playwright, and the like.

Etymology
The word qonwI' consists of the verb qon (meaning "compose", or "record") and the verb suffix -wI' (meaning "one who does", similar to the English suffix -er). 

The word qonwI' might also be translated as "one who records" or "one who transcribes". This reflects the Klingon view that songs and stories are not invented, but rather they have their own, independent existence, waiting to be discovered, written down and performed. 

The word qon is also used in reference to history, as in the saying  qun qon charghwI'pu''e' . ("History is written by the victors.")

A qonwI' does not necessarily have to be a person. For example, a Klingon might describe a camera as a mIllogh qonwI', or "image recorder". 

Notable qonwI'pu'
Keedera was arguably the most respected qonwI of the 24th century.
