Well, there is and there isn't. On the bottom of the KLI stationary (and
in a few other places too) it says tlhIngan Hol yejHaD. We can easily
quibble about the legitmacy of "yejHaD" (and people have). I casually
mentioned this to Okrand once and he laughed and suggested that surely
the KLI is a very ancient and venerable institution, whose name goes back
to an earlier dialect. A cheap way out, but I'll resort to it if I have
to. :)
