observations that
 will serve to further our ability to use Klingon to communicate clearly.

====================================

Thanks for telling me what ghunchu'wI' wrote means something other than what
he literally wrote.  I need to hear from ghunchu'wI' himself what he means, if
he thinks I mis-read his writing.  Klingon is a rather literal language.

Is this communique clear enough?
