I usually say /jabbI'IDghomvam/ "this transmission group." I've seen
/tetlhvam/ "this list." The actual name of the group is
"tlhIngan-Hol" and if you use the hyphen it's clear you're referring
to the list, not the language. /tlhIH/. Not knowing Klingon
terminology or technology for many-to-many communication, we have to
accept just about anything grammatical that describes a significant
part of the process or effect of creating a community through sending
messages to a server that redistributes them to a list of addresses.
