I was trying to say: Do we know enough about Klingon physiology to say
that "a bat'leth is no good for combat"? I can't find a word for
physiology, so I used {porghQeD} for "body science", after {HolQeD} for
"linguistics". Anyways my point was that even if we "bumbling Terrans"
get our bat'leths tangled, that doesn't mean that Klingons do because
their bodies may be constructed differently.
