"All"? Tell me, what does a Korean acronym look like? :-)

We don't even have any evidence that Klingons use letters to spell
words. Syllabaries and pictographs don't lend themselves very well
to the use of acronyms; the "real" pIqaD might not either.

So if the nature of pIqaD is that it's a pictographic system similar
to Japanese, would you agree that acronyms are unlikely?
