va! I just typed a 47-line reply to this e-mail before I realized that
this is KLBC. Oh, well, I'll reply to your last question anyway. "Quiet"
and "silence" are both verbs. You can recast your above sentence in this
way. pagh will probably elaborate. As for "curtain," in The Klingon
Hamlet, {HaSta} was used for "arras" (p. 109), but this doesn't seem to
be what you want. ("...the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each
purple visual display" doesn't quite carry the same weight and tone as
the original.)
Keep up the good work!
