toH! That's really great! In Klingon, one encounters exactly the same
translation problem that Gandalf had! Is it meant as "say" or "speak"?

Pardon my impromptu translation here. Feel free to correct it. I'd
appreciate any suggestions on this particular passage! To allow the
translation, I've used the Elvish word *mellon,* which means "friend," in the
appropriate place.

Ick. Can you do that? The {'e'} construction on a verb with {-bogh}, I
mean.
