a purely random thought...
Last night, I was flipping through the Klingon Dictionary last night, looking
for a good title for my editorial column in a Klingon newsletter, when I noticed
the word "taj". This immediately brought to mind the Terran structure, the Taj
Mahal. So, glutton for punishment that I am, I attempted to find a Klingon
deviation on the Terran word, and this is what I came up with:
taj maH Hol
which I took to mean something along the lines of "dagger of ten languages",
which at least sounded a little poetic. Sounds like something Indiana Jones or
Captain Picard would dig up somewhere... "Look, I've found it!... The Dagger of
Ten Languages... Now let's burn the crypt and get outta here!..."
I just thought I'd share this with you guys and gals out there in the Deep Black
Something of interstellar space, for serious perusal or just for entertainment.
My friend {the editor of my newsletter} thought it was cool, but then again, he
doesn't know a targ-load of Klingon, either...
