Rather than asking everyone else to change the way they've posted for
years, learn to use your e-mail filters more efficiently.
Instead of filtering on the Subject, which only works if a certain string
is present, why don't you filter on another header? EVERY message you
receive from the KLI listserv contains this header:
To: [email protected]
Set up a filter to search for "tlhIngan-Hol" or "kli.org". That's the way
I do it. (This method also works well with other mailing lists or even
work-related email.)

"Qoram, son of the Great/Supreme Warlord" ?
That's exactly how we do patronymics in Klingon: e.g. {wo'rIv mogh puqloD}
"Worf, son of Mogh" or {HuS 'atrom puqbe'} "Huss, daughter of A'trom".
BTW if by *{joH'a'} you mean "god, deity, supernatural being", that's
{Qun}. This word is among those Maltz revealed after "The Klingon
Dictionary" was published, so most beginners are unaware of them.
Qapla'!
