Indeed... I found out the significance of the "water jug" that it needed
translating (based on some custom that if a warrior returns home thirsty
from conquest, drink shouldn't be far out of reach. Note the nice
contradiction with TKW's comments that Klingons look down the ridgy noses
at drinking water. I like that contradiction, since after all, it's a rare
culture whose customs don't at least appear to be in conflict from time to
time.) I also found that in at least two or three places, whoever it was
who was doing the speech for those explanation (didn't sound quite like
Majel Barret) did some fantastic Klingon pronunction. I think I remember
hearing a *solid* "tlh".

Color me confused; brain must be on slow-burn today.
