Sorry that I didn't express this clearly enough. Krankor has
repeatedly expressed rather vociferous dismay at anyone writing
an English word in Klingon spelling. It doesn't matter if the
pronunciation is perfect that way. What matters is that you
have a word there that has no indication on it that a person
can't find it in TKD.
My hair is still smoking from the flames I received when I
referred to the game "Doom" as {Dum}. If the word is English,
then you need to set it apart with quotes, asterisks, square
brackets or other clear markers to point out that it is not a
Klingon word.
