Actually, it was full of little screw ups. Such as the lack of prefix, and
suffix use. For example:
"jolopa' yIjaH" (The suffix "Daq" absent)
"He chu' ghoS, DI'vI' neHmaH." (The "yI" prefix not used)
In his characteristically charitable way, Okrand created the concept of
"clipped Klingon" to account for this.
