OK, I'll buy that. In that case, should each of these 'greetings'
I hacked together be reworked into commands?
greetings for this (electronic) format:
jIja'
jIneH
jIjatlh
HIQoy (already a command, but what do you think in any case?)
personal (face-to-face) greetings:
qalegh (Salegh) - acknowledging the fact someone exists (seems Klingon)
ghot SoH - (acknowledging they are a being)
The last two are based solely on what I would think a Klingon
would do when passing someone they sort-of know in a hallway, if they were
in a good mood.
Feedback would be muchly appreciated. *BG* HIjang!
