ngoQHeyvam DalIj 'e' vIchup.  Klingon's extensive system of affixes makes
this decidedly notrivial.  It isn't the sort of language that lends itself
to being spellchecked unless one implements a complete word-level grammar
engine.  There's also the rather less tractable problem of a nearly full
matrix of potential words -- it's highly likely that a misspelling of any
given word will result in another perfectly good word.
