Point taken.As I mentioned in an earlier post this was an earlier version
of the article thus there were numerous errors. I will try to find the
final submission and post it.
But lets get it clear right now: The Reason it was rejected was based on
it relevancy to the study of tlhingan Hol <period>.
For the most part the article it was a simple intellectual exersize that
I thought might be worthy of HolQeD so I submitted it as a lark.
Yes, even in the final submission there were errors found but they
were fewer than the one found in this article but had THOSE been
corrected the editorial staff of HolQeD would have still rejected it.
