This would be a good time to point out that the writing system we use is NOT
pIqaD. It is a way for non-Klingon linguists to record spoken Klingon. Since
we have no idea what "real" pIqaD is, we don't how it marks word boundaries,
if it does at all. As such, this debate is rather pointless - <cha'ben> and
<cha' ben> *sound* exactly the same.
