Greetings, all.
I was just looking over my copy of HolQeD 4:4, and noted what I think
might be another Okrandian "joke" in the tradition of "tlhaq" for
"chronometer" and "Sap" for "volunteer" (cf. Schoen in HolQeD 1:2,p.6).
The new word provided here by Okrand for "academy" is "'ampaS". I
thought this looked a bit familiar, and suddenly realized that the
"Academy" of "Academy Awards" fame is, in fact, AMPAS: Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
Klingon film buffs?
