nujatlh Qov:<br>&gt; The word for "bridge" (as in over a river) is &lt;QI&gt; (one of those weird<br><div>&gt; vowel-final words).<br><br>jang De'vID, jatlh:<br>&gt; This is most certainly a reference to the novel by Pierre Boulle,<br>&gt; especially the way he phrased it ("bridge... as in over a river").<br><br>jang DloraH, jatlh:<br>&gt; That was the first thought that came to my mind as well the very moment I read it.  And then I tried<br>&gt; to make the pronunciation fit better, but couldn't; so I didn't say anything.<br><br>If you spell it quickly using the English letternames ("cue-eye") it gets pretty close.<br><br>QeS<br></div> 		 	   		  </div></body>
