MUSH = Multi-User Shared Hallucination. It's a live interactive
communications forum complete with a (text-only) virtual environment
which may be explored (and extended by the participants). One of many
descendents of MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons), originally envisioned, as the
name indicates, as mechanisms for multi-player virtual role-playing
games. The KLI MUSH (a.k.a. the Klingon Educational Virtual
Environment, or KEVE) is centered around a virtual city on QonoS; its
intent is to provide a place where you can practice your real-time
tlhIngan Hol (No time to flip through that dictionary! Speak! Now!)
You can get to the KLI MUSH (when it's up) by telnetting to port 2218 of
mush.kli.org.

P.S. {qej} doesn't mean "to mean"; it means "to *be* mean",
as in cruel, nasty, unpleasant, vindictive, etc. Klingon lacks
a simple verb with the exact sense of the English "to mean", although
{'oS} "to represent" comes close. Constructions with {Hech} "intend
[to]" are also popular.
