I'm sure nobody meant to imply any disapproval of your desire for this word; 
only to discuss alternative solutions until we do receive such a word (if we 
ever do). ...
There is a pretty pervasive attitude among jatlhwI'pu' that we have all the 
words we need; expressing new concepts is only a matter of ingenuity.</tt></pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;">&gt;&gt;&gt;</pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My feeling is that we too often assign a range of English meanings to a Klingon word, when the Klingon might be more tightly focused.</font></pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just because cruft can be applied in English to both redundant/useless software and a bomber that has been superceded by newer technology, doesn't mean that any Klingon word will display a similar range of meanings. Klingon is not simply a "code" for English.</font></pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">gheyIl</font></pre></tt></pre>
