No, you did not. What does "tel" mean? As in Tel-Aviv? :)

TKW stands for The Klingon Way, a newer book by Marc Okrand. It's filled with
Klingon proverbs and their explanations, and gives a very clear insight into
Klingon values and grammar. You can order it from the KLI's webpage.

Don't forget to capitalize that {S}, but otherwise these are perfect!

Yes, more or less. It's a long story. Maybe that'll be my next Web page
project . . .
> aDam' (like adam???)
Well, this doesn't exactly fit Klingon phonetics. All Klingon words begin
with a consonant. And the apostrophe {'} is also a consonant, a glottal stop.
If I were to tranliterate your name, I'd say {'aDam}. Actually, the way it's
said where I live, it sounds more like {'aDem}, although most native English
speakers say a normal "d" rather than a Klingon {D}!
