Because one mispronounces something, it doesn't mean it isn't cannon. This is a
MO/paramount project so it is cannon, it's just that some people can't pronounce
as well as others...

You would probably know by the introduction or context. Also, I don't see how
{qeylIS puqloD matlh} can be Kahless' loyal son since matlh is not an
adjective.....

Why not? Maybe something in Mogh's family history...however, the writers
probably didnt check on TKD, they just thought it sounded cool...
>SoHvaD jIjatlhneS
Since this sentence has an object, {SoH}, you need the verb suffix {vI-} (I-it)!
