First problem is the letter values. To figure those, we'll need a letter
frequency table. It'd be easy if there were something like the Klingon
equivalent of, say, the Brown Corpus, but there isn't. There aren't enough
samples of conversation to analyze. Perhaps when the vocabulary gains another
order of magnitude...
And would you believe I'm STILL trying to overcome the subtler psychological
damage of Port Royal... jI'oy'lI'!
