Hm. Suppose you're talking to a foreigner whose English leaves much
to be desired, and he says `baby ale'. Will you understand this as an
attempt to say `milk'? Will you accept it as a valid way to say `milk'?
Will you just chuckle, or will you roll on the floor laughing? :-)
I can't imagine that there is no simple (not compound) noun meaning
`milk' in Klingon, and, until we can hear it from Maltz, maybe it is
safer to avoid talking about milk, or use the Federation Standard word.
