Re: HolQeD letter response

Note: Even if you were to think tlhIngan was related to an earlier name for
Qo'noS, the name would just as probably be tlhI, not tlhIn. Remember that in
Klingon, {ng} is not a combination of two consonants. It is a single
consonant. The suffix in question is {ngan}, not {gan}. For those who would
object to the absence of a closing consonant, a number of the older Klingon
words lack a closing consonant.

     TKD is a tad inconsistent in this area. I would have expected, for
example, vulqanngan instead of vulqangan, so obviously this is not a hard and
fast rule.
