What's nitro pojwi' [sic]? I don't know how it presents words, but it
should have told you that {taS} means "solution (liquid)" the way the word
is defined the The Klingon Dictionary. If it just said "solution" by
itself, then I would call it a failing of the tool. If it did include the
"liquid" part, then I would remind you that you can't just take a single
part of the definition out of context. The Klingon word typically means
*all* of what is given in the English definition, or at least has the
meaning common to them.
I still don't know what you really wanted to say, since "solution" doesn't
have a lot to do with "explanation" as you used it.
