Since "nonatonic" is not a Klingon word, it cannot mean such a thing. If
Okrand used the word "nonatonic," then he was using it in English, and it
means what it means in English. If he used it wrong, then who really cares?
We know what he meant, so give the guy a break.
The only way you can talk about what Klingons call such a scale is if you
know their word for it.
