"When I met Okrand at BabelCon in April, we 'purchased' him at the slave
auction. His 'official' duty was to clarify one word: {toQDuj} 'bird of prey
(type of ship)'. According to Marc, a {toQ} is an avian predator on the
Homeworld whose closest Terran analog would be a bird of prey. When I told him
I had theorized that {toQ} might mean scout (since that's what a BoP is) he
said no, it's definitely an animal from Qo'noS." (Bill Willmerdinger at
BabelCon 2, 4/97)
