SPOILER: Klingon for the Galactic Traveler has:
play (a musical instrument) (v) - chu'
player (of a musical instrument) (n) - chu'wI'
pluck (a stringed instrument) (v) - pang
There are other words we needed WINDOW, STAIRS, etc etc....
OOOOooooo! Is this book gonna start some stuff on the list or what??
Somebody strap HoD Qanqor down first. This has all kinds of stuff in it
about "dialects" (maybe even legitimizing Par Hol... *eyuch*)
No wonder MO was "vegh" about all the new words }};-)
PS
I got TWO copies of KGT. ;-p
