Oh, you know what Klingons consider poetic, do you? {{:-)
First off, the word is {mangghommey}. And secondly, this very topic has been
discussed before. Is an ARMY a being capable of using language, or is it the
individual soldiers of the army? Unless someone proves me wrong, I claim the
latter. Therefore, {mangghommey} means "armies," not "armies scattered all
about."
If you want to talk about "armies everywhere," consider using the word {Dat}
(Hey! My initials!).
