Capt. Picard, however, did say it to a Klingon ambassador in one TNG
episode where it was transcribed *k'adlo* in the closed captions. (BTW,
the ambassador didn't say "you're welcome" or anything--he just grunted and
walked away.) >>

I am not ready to post another section of the story quite yet. But it will
contain the pronoun 'e'. In Irish Gaelic the pronoun é (with an accent on
the top and pronounced <<'ey>> in Klingon, as best I can tell from the
pronunciation guides) means "it." This "it" refers back to the previous
topic. But Gaelic speakers do not link sentences together with it. I just
hope pIH is okay here. I have to look up a lot of words.
Does anyone have all the Klingon words memorized? I do not!!!!! :)
I "enjoy" Qov's word <<tIv>>. I definitely will try to use it very soon. (I
like the way Klingons speak "definitely.") Maybe I will have to find a way
to put <<qatlho'>> into the story. Maybe not; Klingons seldom use it; so, I
do not want to use it either.
I am excited about writing more chapters, but life is getting in the way :)
