Oh. Well, there's the problem. We don't have much terminology which has to
do with human computer systems, especially the World Wide Web. Some months
ago we learned that the English word "site" (itself a borrowing from the more
mundane idea of a physical location) has been the basis for equivalent words
in all other languages that we knew. I doubt that Klingons have an analogous
word.
*shrug* You could always just leave the word "link" in there. Perhaps
Klingons would use the word {lojmIt}? Or {Qorwagh}. Or {veghmeH mu'mey}.
Who knows?
