----------------Thanks, ~mark, for translating that little lot.-------------

[Here comes my attempt at translating the next paragraph in Klingon......]
Rewording somewhat from the original English I posted a while ago.....
A starship which travels to Alpha Centauri travels 6 hundred million
kellicams.
Duj //Alpha Centauri//-Daq lengbogh javvatlh 'uy' qelI'qammey leng.
However, the apparent time slows down as the velocity approaches one
kellicam per year.
'ach machghach mojtaH poHHey wa'vatlh loSmaH 'uy' <kellicams per year>
ghoSvIS Duj.
This causes strange occurences to happen.
qaSghach Huj qaSmoH 'oH. [I'm not sure about this one]
Imagine two people of the same age.
[How do I say this?]
One remains behind, whilst one goes to Alpha Centauri and back (to Earth).
ratlh wa' 'ej //Alpha Centauri//-Daq je tera' leng wa'.
At the moment of time he returns, he will be younger than the person
who stayed behind.
<?>
The words in slashes //...// are names inserted; the words in angle
brackets <...> I have no idea how to translate.
[Assumptions: A kellicam is equal to 2.02 km. From an earlier posting
concerning qelI'qammey.]

PS Does the title work for 'Ahead warp factor 9 ... Engage!' ??
