While I appreciate the special near brush with infamy, I
cannot claim this translation. To the best of my knowledge,
I've never translated John 3.16 into tlhIngan Hol, as dear as the
verse may be to me.
And while I'm fond of flingin the -Daq suffix in places, I can't picture saying
ghaHDaq... I'd be more likely to say Davoq,
or DaHar for "you believe in him" .
