Re[2]: KLI Fonts



charghwI':  "Careful. Just because Okrand uses punctuation in the Romanized 
writings does not mean that Klingons necessarily use it in pIqaD..."

I suspect that the Klingons don't use punctuation.  Assuming that the Klingon 
language is something like Ancient Chinese, the reader must make assumptions 
about where sentences begin and end.  Klingon word-structure and 
sentence-structure may actually make punctuation less necessary than it is in, 
say, English.  

(Egyptian had no punctuation either.)
