All true, Stormcrow. When I came up with my "nom de klin", I carefully
avoided translations, puns and compound words. I wanted something easily (I
hope) identifiable as a Klingon *name*. And keep in mind that MO seems to
be producing more bisyllabic nouns lately; KGT has quite a few of them.
{veragh} "rivet" is close enough to "Voragh" that I've already been asked
about it a few times.
