You do?
In Germany people usually say it number by number {jav, chorgh, chorgh, Soch...}
In France, and Belgium, they say it by groups of two, because the telephone numbers are *always* six
digits (not in Germany) 68.87.74.={javmaH chorgh, chorghmaH Soch, SochmaH loS}.
(I should mention that of course there is also an area code before it.)

I can repeat what Qov says:
If you're in the SaarLorLux area, PLEASE come out to the qepHom. It does not matter if you can speak NO
Klingon right now. Pretty much everything gets translated, we have lots of fun, but I cannot guarantee I
can get Oreos here :-). On the last qepHom, many people spoke not a word when they started but could
pretty well order a beer in Klingon (Because otherwise I wouldn't give it to them :-))
BTW, almost twenty people have registred, so it's worth coming!
