David,
Similarly, the Perfective aspect in Russian
works differently from the Perfective aspect
marker (�) in Chinese, although both encompass
the global definition of "perfective aspect".
It's now quite common to make this distinction
between capitalized and non-capitalized terms,
but not everyone does that. And it might not
have been as wide-spread decades ago when the TKD was written.
I was studying Russian in university while TKD
was being written and never encountered the
capitalized form in my many battles with
perfective and imperfective verbs. In Russian,
mastery of when to use each is often cited as
something that an adult learner of the language
will never achieve, so subtle and complex is the
distinction, so I really don't have a problem
with it being a bone of contention in Klingon.
