SKI: Essim seems okay now.

[23] I don't want to dilute or misuse the word yan, but I like the image of brandishing or wielding a non-weapon as if it were a sword. Am I being too influenced byt he way I would write it in English? Should I use lo' or chu' instead? Is there a special Klingon verb we don't know yet for "to wield (a non-weapon device)"?

[31] Based on personal experience. When I was a kid I was playing in a field with a friend and she called me by name to turn and look at her, then she threw a handfull of grass seed into my face at point blank range. It took ages to get all the seeds out. The eye secretes gunk to coat them and reduce the irritation but they lurk there down inside the eyelids for days. I forgave her. I know someone else who got a piece of straw wrapped around inside orbit under the eyelid in similar circumstances. 'oy'.
