The author use the words either in the anglicized version or keeps then
in tlhIngan Hol where it is hard to translate them.
In his acknowledgments he states:
snipped....
I employed several valuble references while writing, primarily The
StarTrek Encyclopedia, -is is my not so mumble opinion that people should
not be alloweed to write a Trek novel without a copy of this book or
CD-rom within reach at all time. Other references used the Star Trek
Chronology, The Klingon Dictionary, TNG Companion, the DS9 Companion, Star
Trek Klingon : CD-roms.
Helpful people included Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen and his cronies at the
Klingon Language Institute and the aforementioned Marc Okrand who kept my
linquists straight and vetted the glossary.
