You probably read your tlhIngan Hol with a proportional font.  I recommend
NON-proportional fonts with serifs.  There is a space between the /'ang/ and
the /be'/.

Okrand only knows.  I used /Hab/ in comparison to foreheads.  Maybe /beQ/
would have been better understood.  To me /be' beQ/ implies someone landed a
toQDuj on her.  

I think you won't believe a description of the Klingon female costumes,
unless you have seen them on the show.
