To which I add a word of caution of another sort.
This is intended for Java, you said, right? I would be very careful about
placing the contents of the entire Klingon Dictionary on the web for

they get really nasty about people taking their business away. Otherwise
the KLI probably would have put a lexicon up ages ago.
