Actually, I forgot that one of the words in the TKD entry for {Daq} is "site."
I always think of it as "location." Now, a web site is not necessarily a
true location (although its computer usually is).
So, what's the German word for this idea? How does it translate (either into
English or Klingon)? Anyone else know other language terms for this concept?
A very common desire of new Klingonists is to talk about their web page.
