>From various hints posted here on the list, and the "Making of the CD" 
appendix to the ST:K novelization, this is probably what Paramount/S&S 
have come to call "the Klingon national anthem":  Qoy qeylIS puqloD.

According to the appendix, Okrand wrote (or, at least, translated via FAX)
the words for this "anthem", so if anyone who has played the CD (I don't
have the hardware) can transcribe and post them, we'd all benefit. 

SoHDaq qeylIS qa' yInjaj!
