You know it exists, so you're ahead of the average human already. :)  
I only got to know what I know by studying the books and tapes and 
then by hanging around this lot and acting pretentious.  It isn't 
like you have to spend years in the bars of Qo'noS to be considered 
an expert around here.

Definitely buy The Klingon Dictionary next.  You can be a proficient 
Klingon speaker with just the dictionary and you can't be one one 
without it.

Excellent.

<pojwI'> ("analyzer") or <mu' HaqwI'> ("word surgeon").  I think they 
are both freeware available on the internet.

P.S.  Did you make your name by stringing together words you liked, 
or is it coincidence that it contains syllables meaning "political 
authority"  "judge/war" "succeed to power" and "strong"?
