Re: KLBC: Road

I recall DrujIv had similar problems when she was building the city on the
KLI MUSH. There aren't all that many good words for architectural
structures in Klingon. There's "vaS", but that seems to mean "hall" in the
sense of "assembly hall" and not "corridor." She wound up using "'och" a
great deal, which worked for the feel she wanted to give HeH veng: a
complex, multilayered rabbit-warren of a city. I think there were other
similar tricks she used in some situations. You can probably use "He" in
some places. I know I used "lengbogh pa'" for "elevator" once.
