Oh yea, and i managed to convince my dad to get TKD, but i'm gonna study it and look to see (on the KLI) if there is a few examples of each section. That way i'll still see if it's possible to learn without TKD... Becuase all one would need is a few examples of each rule. If i didn't know anything about tlhIngan Hol or any other language, i'd wonder how they managed to shorten quadrotriticale into loSpev... And i'm not sure, but are all 4 of the grains real? I know wheat and rye are but i forget what the other 2 are... It'd be intresting to go around carrying a bottle of real quadrotriticale as a joke... And if any of you go to conventions (i shall never!) i'm sure you'll have some fun with that.

To clarify: a syllable can be CV, CVC, CVrgh, CVy', or CVw' (in the last
one, where V is not {o} or {u}). {-oy} is obviously a case unto itself - but
let's not open that can of worms again. {{:)
Most roots in Klingon are a single syllable, but some are longer. Two verbs
(and only two, IIRC) are disyllabic: {lo'laH} "be valuable" and {nughI'}
"twist knuckle into the forehead of"; every other verb is monosyllabic.
Multisyllabic nouns, on the other hand, are rife. {tu'HomI'raH} "something
useless", the only quadrisyllabic root in Klingon, is a noun.
