Also unlikely that anyone else involved in the production was much good at
Klingon (let's face it, it's probably safe to say that we here on the list
are likely to know of just about anyone who'se reasonably good about the
language and public about it). Those punctuations could only have been
added by someone who knew the grammar, there were *commas* (I think. I may
be misremembering and all this is wrong). If Okrand didn't add them, who
did?
