DaH qechwIj Dayajchu'! I half had my tongue in cheek when coming up with
this whole idea, but while I was doing that, I realized that there wasn't
really any canon I could find to disprove my unusual idea, and if Okrand
LIKED the idea, he could easily make it so. Hence, the post. And now, I
think you and I both take this argument with equal degrees of seriousness
and wonder.
