I seem to remember in the Klingon Hamlet {'o'vo'} for "from within" and I have
no idea how it's supposed to be used.
Maybe we could someday do a second edition with the new grammar ({Hoch}, for
one) and maybe some new words from KGT such as "dining room" (I think I remember
someone saying what they used in it for that, and if KGT gave us at least a new
way to say such).
