Nothing at all! They have a lot to do with Klingon vocabulary, however.
For instance, {bang} means "lover", {tlhaQ} (which sounds a lot like
"clock" under the assumption that {tlhIngan} sounds like "Klingon")
means "chronometer", {tIq} means "heart" ("ticker"), {HIq} means
"liquor" ("Hic!"), {'Iw} means "blood" ("Ewww!"), and on and on and on.

I must admit, any LItB connection is news to me. :)
