}You probably know about the song from the Klingon CD and one DSN episode "Qoy

}I've got only one single question:
}
}Is the text on http://www.simonsays.com/titles/0671009958/excerpt2.html canon?
}Or is this just _somebody_ who has written it down?
The version on the S&S URL was provided by Marc Okrand.
}The reason for my question is the fact that we discussed this on the mailing
}list last year and there are some minor differences between that one and the
}one Eddy Fonseca posted on July 15th 1997
}e.g.
}{SeymoHchu' mayu'} and
"It perfectly excites. We interrogate."
vs
}{Say'moHchu' may' 'Iw}
"The blood of battle clenses through."
}{yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuvpa' reH maSuvtaH} and
"Before we join our fathers in the Black Fleet we will fight forever."
vs.
}{yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuv pa' reH maSuvtaH}
"We will join our fathers in the Black Fleet. There we will fight forever."
The second one makes a lot more sense in each case.
}How serious should we take it? Can I keep teaching people the song I learned
}it, or should I learn the song like on Simon&Schuster's page?? Is it canon or
}not?????
Something from July would be from someone just listening to the words.
