Give me a couple days, okay? I don't have time to casually read that
much Hol unless it uses vocabulary with which I tend to be familiar and
grammar that is relatively straight forward. Most translations posted to this
list of existing English texts rarely satisfy either of these criteria.
Instead, there is a tendency to twist the Klingon ALL OVER THE PLACE in order
to match as closely as possible the English, JUST LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN. The
result is rarely easy to read, so I copy to disk and wait for one of those
times when nothing comes up (usually at least requires a weekend) to get back
to it. Now, I've got Wm. Tell and Hamlet, Act I to go over. This weekend is
likely.
