But I believe we're told that {qon} is used when composing songs, not every
time one might use the word "compose" in English.  We know nothing
particular about how Klingons think of "composing," say, e-mail.  And I
agreed that {qon} would be appropriate if the usage were about a song.

It *might* refer to any act which we call "composing" in English, but I
don't see why this must be.
