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.
