QI'lop? *Qetlop*?? *Ke'Plak*???
Quvar:

SuStel:
>QI'lop 'oH lop pong'e', qar'a'?
I don't think we've ever seen an "official" spelling for this holiday,
mentioned in "Power Klingon", but since it's the holiday honoring the
Klingon military {QI'}, spelling it {QI'lop} "military celebration" seems
obvious.
Note, this is still a guess of Michael Dorn's pronunciation. I've also
seen the holiday referred to as *Ke'Plak* (!) and celebrated (I'm told) on
October 15 in Klingon fandom.
BTW: Anyone know why they chose October 15th?
