Its only because I'm a worrywart, but I really disagree.
On two points:
1) joH'a' for the divine name is not from Okrand, it is a KLI member's
invention (And a good one - no question).
2) CANON is, and will always be a sticky thing, but Paramount ONLY defines
canon, and Okrand as their hired gun does so. The ONLY
final rule of "canon"icity is "what is from Paramount" (usually
explicitly "what is filmed from *P*"). This has led to backfit
words and such in the past and will in the future, with the
eccentric and cavalier use of the language by the scriptwriters.
