I have been thinking about this for a while. Since we may not get
their names for a some time, would it be kosher to make a sort of code
(like what the military and ham-radio operators have) to use when
talking about specific letters? I had toyed with using the first
noun that appears in TKD under each Klingon letter. That is until I
remembered that no Klingon words start with vowels, so either we couldn't talk
about vowels, or we couldn't differentiate between them and the
letter '. It would be cool if we could have names for the letters,
because then we could do Klingon geometry (oohh, doesn't that make it
worthwhile? :^)
