The point here is that in THE SOUND OF MUSIC, the syllables
were related to English words. At first, I was keeping the
syllables the same and translating the English. Later, I
decided to keep the syllables nearly the same and relate them
to Klingon words. I not only found words, but found all nouns,
which seemed to fit the song better.

Most western music can arguably be based upon thirds. Chords
are triads, three notes spaced a third apart. Most of the
tension created by a chord and most of the mood is determined
by where we place major thirds or minor thirds in the chords. I
think this would suit the Klingon lust for threes quite well.
