What you will find below is my first attempt at English-to-tlhIngan Hol
translation -- I know it's small, but I'd appreciate any comments. I am very
new to this, and although I understand very little of what I read on this
list, I still enjoy trying to translate the messages. I have both tapes and
have recently acquired the Klingon dictionary. My question is: is everything
one needs to translate complex works (like books of the bible, Shakespeare,
etc.) really contained in this book? The grammar doesn't seem to allow for
really complex structure? Are there any supplamental materials or can one
really express just about anything with the relatively limited material in
this book?
