Yea, if that were the case the qep'a' would have to be held in a stadium.

I wish I had saved it. At the time I read it, I was studying Esperanto so I was
looking at posts in the ng for practice. I was interested in Klingon so I did
take special notice of that post but I had Klingon "on the back burner".

tugh vImugheghlaH. (That's supposed to be "Soon I will be able to translate it
myself". I don't think I can use -egh like that but take pity on me. I've been
moving stuff to my new apartment all day and my father-in-law packed up all my
Klingon stuff and took it to Pittsburgh. I'm a little crippled now. I didn't
realize my TKD & KGT were gone until I got these last 27 messages and went to
translate them.

Good advice but I think I'll use it as incentive to learn Esperanto quicker. :)
