Now, I've snarfed the dictionary file from a parser that will remain nameless,
to avert the copyright police; I've reverse sorted the Klingon words, from
the end of the word back, so that I now have a Klingon rhyming dictionary,
which will make those sonnets that much faster to write. This is how it
starts (I've made final glottal stops not differentiate rhymes):

'uy' I 1000000
'uy V press_down
Hi'tuy N dictatorship
Suy N merchant
puy V wreck
Huy' N eyebrow
Duy' V be_defective
Duy' N defect
Duy N agent
'oy' N [ache|pain|sore]
Ho''oy' N toothache
'oy' V [ache|hurt|be_sore]
yoy V be_upside_down
jolvoy' N transporter_ionizer_unit

etc.

But you see, with the copyright police out and about, is it prudent to
upload this to the FTP archive? I suspect not... Opinions?

Nick.
