          I'm assuming that between the recent problems with my e-mail
          system and the censor's censures, the German original of
          this didn't get posted.  Peh.  As if you can put a language
          in a bottle and keep it isolated from the others.  But I
          really do want to make nice, so here it is in Even Lower
          German.  But with the original title.    Kloko-vo'.

          (aus "Der klingonische Lehnwortschatz im Rotwelsch des
          ehemaligen Planetenbundes", Neuberlin, AD 24??)

          (from "The Klingon Loan Vocabulary in the Argot of the
          former Federation of Planets", New Berlin, Ad24??)

                            APPENDIX A.
