Oh, is that all?

Welcome to the mailing list!  I"m SuStel, the Beginners' Grammarian.  If 
you've got any questions you'd like to ask me (before others decide to stick 
their noses into it :), just put "KLBC" in the subject header and I'll give it 
my full attention.

Web pages you may want to visit:

And now to your question!

Writing a cookbook?

There is no known word for "butter" in Klingon.  I'd recommend that you just 
use the word "butter," flagging it with quotation marks, asterisks, or 
something else.

(Klingon only has a little information about food words, and most of them are 
Klingon dishes!)
