If you look closely at TKW you will see that every entry has an
attribution, from a Paramount source. It's a study of Klingons in
situ, with the things they have said presented in tlhIngan Hol,
instead of in the English translations we heard first.
The replacement proverbs, on the other hand, were made up out of
whole cloth. This doesn't explain why the RPs aren't in KGT, but
then Marc wrote KGT expressly for us (well it sure looks like it!) ad
he knew we already knew how to spell the replacement proverbs from
the tape. :)
