>From memory, none of the Klingon (apart from certain words and actual
names) used in the actual "Star Trek" series were ever used in the
series... I remember reading somewhere that the writers had merely strung
a series of the tlhIngan syllables together instead of using Okrand's
translations as the translations proved to be even more difficult to
pronounce... Even with phrases like "Today is a good day to die" Could
anyone confirm this? SuStel, your opinion would probably ease my mind as
to whether I am wrong or not...
