As for me, I like the list the way it is. When I started learning Klingon,
both the BG and reading experienced speakers' posts were a great help for me.
Of course it's hard to read messages in Klingon when you've just started with
the language, but it's a good way to learn the basic vocabulary. And it gets
easier the more you read.
