>How do I say tranquillity, harmony, or inward beauty in Klingon?
Hmm. Those concepts are hard to express even in English, if you think
about it. There's "roj" in Klingon, which means "peace." "Harmony"...?
What does that truly mean? It's a complex concept, and Klingon is poorly
supplied with some concepts. There are the verbs "jIj" and "yeq" which
both mean "cooperate", which is related. "Inward beauty"? I note English
doesn't express that neatly either. I'm not sure how I'd try it in
Klingon. You can talk about a beautiful spirit, I suppose.
