: chay' "library" wImugh? paqqach...
*{paqqach} has been used here on the list, and the KLI translated Library of
Congress as *{yejquv paqghom} on one of its web pages. The trouble with both
of these is that they can also refer to a book depository or warehouse.
Once I came up with the grander *{paqmey vaS} "hall of books", which I think is
somewhat more Klingon-sounding. I can think of myself as working in the
*{paqmey vaS'a'}, or Great Hall of Books, i.e. the main/central library of the
University of Chicago. This also lends itself nicely to *{yejquv paqmey
vaS'a'}, i.e. the Great Hall of Books of the High Council (a.k.a. The Library
of Congress).
