Re: [Tlhingan-hol] KLPC help - Klingon expertise NOT required

Robyn Stewart ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol po'wI']

The FTG list is only 498 words. At a quick scan it appears to be missing nuv and vergh (n), plus qatlh, chay', ghorgh and the six conjunctions, which everyone misses. (There are actually 510 beginner words, but ten of them only appear in the grammar list).

(OMG:  KLCP, the Qov level: learn the basic vocabulary so thoroughly that you can tell what is missing from a single, rapid scroll through a poorly sorted list).

I will be able to talk to beginners SO WELL! Show me your bronze pach and we will jabber!

"Beginner Klingon Words" It should be under "User Submitted" and then "Language".
