Actually, {SIH} is bend.  {*SI'd} mut be based on a typo or maybe some dirt
on the page when your copy of TKD was printed!

}( I know, not legal :-) 

You may do anything you like to name yourself.  Removing the nth letter from
a Klingon word which, when the nth letter is removed from its English
translation, is the same as your name is  ... innovative.  Wouldn't have
occured to me.

}woq noh and cho and HoS I translated and je means and,

}it did

Not exactly.  Note that the capital letters must be exactly the same as you
see in the book and that the {'} letter cannot be left out.  Also {je} goe
after all the nouns that it joins, not between the last two like in English.
But for a name, no one worie about rules.  Your name is fine.
