I ran into this problem a couple months ago with the project I recently
finished.
* Like pagh stated, keep in mind what klingons might call "wild"
* Recast the whole idea
* In some context I use Hatlh - country, countryside
Hatlh does not mean country, nation. That would be wo' or Sep
Hatlh is countryside, away from the city.
