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.

What I was trying to say was:
"Klingons by any other name are still just Humans with entangled betleHs."
Meaning that, except for some minor surface variations and canon internal differences, I've
never seen *any* physiological difference that would account for a difference in their
fighting techniques and abilities. In fact, if all we have to go on as to their fighting abilities is
Paramount video productions, I'd say they are pretty poor martial artists!
What I ended up with translating back to English is:
"Klingons are only the same as Humans who use 'self obstructed' betleHs."
'self obstructed' being the best I could do for the idea of 'entangled'.
Any variations or corrections to this?
