The German translation of The Klingon Dictionary got this wrong. It
improperly translates {lan} as "Platz, Ort". However, the [original,
correct] English version of TKD says {lan} is "place (v)". I think it
should be German "gesetzt" instead of "Platz".
Do NOT trust _Das offizielle Wörterbuch Klingonisch_. It is riddled with
typographical errors and mistranslated vocabulary. Whoever produced it
apparently knows English and German, but obviously does not know Klingon.
