I like that - I'll have to use that with the Klingon Language and Culture
class if I teach it again next year. The "wa' cha' wa'maH" game worked
well, but was limited to two players - Klingon UNO has possibilities....
[I can imagine game dialogue, like: " ewwwww! 'Iw?" or
"tI? tI? Quj DatI'!" (yes, I'm imposing the English colloquilism
for "fixing" a game").]
[Then there is the question of whether "'Iw" maps to red. But,
I'm flexible.]
