You know, S'Qal, I was just wondering about that.....I was translation an old
post in which SuStel & charghwI' were discussing their mutual dislikes of my
personal drug of choice <qa'vIn> suddenly QoghIjwIj went "Clunk!" and FINALLY I
*got* <veychorgh> DUHhhhh.... But where does the <vey> come from? Is it merely
a phonetic spelling of the letter-sound? Is it okie-dokie to do the Klingon
phonetic job on non-Klingon proper names? It was confusing as ghe''or to attempt
the translation of that sentence without being able to find that word in my
dictionaries.
toH, do we put *'aywa'* on our Ha'DIbaH?
Is a *bI'vaghmaHcha'* made of Kahlua, Bailey's and GrandMarnier?
Do you eat *qel'oghDaj le'qay* for breakfast?.
of course I am being facetious.
(*not puv Dochvam*<English idioms don't work either)
