But, don't you see, at this rate I'll be getting a new name every year!
By qep'a' wa'maH Krankor will have written a song (in Klingon of course)
about the whole thing. I can't stop now.
And, on a grammatical note: Can we use vegh to describe the passage (and
implicit transformation) of food through a digestive tract? People are
basically toroidal, so on a purely physical level it would appear to
work. Could I say:
loD vegh Soj nonqu'
and *not* have it taken metaphorically? Just a thought.
