pIqaD again [Was Re[2]: Noun apposition]

[Frank_M_Truelove@rohmhaas.com (Frank M Truelove)]

SuStel:  "Remember that no Klingon uses our transcription system.  It's a 
convenience for Federation people.  Perhaps the {pIqaD} has some sort of 
method of noting proper names (or perhaps not)."

The Egyptians couldn't capitalize either.  They solved their problem by writing 
important names in red ink and/or circling them with a "ren" cartouche.  ["Ren" 
is actually the Egyptian word for "name", so like many other hieroglyphics, it 
served double duty.]

There's no evidence to suggest that Klingons use red ink for names.  I'm merely 
suggesting that SuStel's theory is plausible.

Outside of canonical Klingon however, Paramount representatives have admitted to
borrowing a number of things Egyptian for use in the show -- e.g., the 
pyramid-like Great Hall.
