We don't really have a noun in Klingon for "program", and you cannot use the
verb <ghun>.
Instead, think about what you're trying to say. To descirbe KLIFlash, I
would use the term <mu'tay' ghojmeH pat> - "system for learning vocabulary".
<pat> - "system" - is often a good word to use when talking about a computer
program, as is <mIw> - "process".
