I see that I need to increase my collection of canon tlhIngan Hol.
Where does one find this secrecy proverb?
I recently purchased Conversational Klingon, and I'm quite happy
to hear "correct" pronunciation. A few things about it do bother
me ({maj/qab} instead of {QaQ/qab}, and referring to {jI-}, {Su-},
etc. as "pronouns"), but I'm glad I bought it. It's almost worth
the price simply to know how to pronounce {Qu'vatlh} correctly!
