Re: *boHem*ngan bomnong
It is absolutely important to emphasize that anytime you use a word that
is not in direct evidence in the corpus to flag it.
And of course, the traditional way is simple. Just remember to put an
asterisk in front of the word which is not in evidence, e.g.
> *SIp < n sheep <transliteration of English to describe Terran animal
And if you are using a word in a questionable way, recall the correct
form is to place a interrogation mark before the word, e.g.
> ?Qong < n sleep, the condition of <backformation from >QongDaq< n bed
This way, while you're enjoying the learning of Klingon, you also are
learning some proper linguistic methods at the same time! See, Klingon
actually isn't a waste of time.... :-)
