Pretty good, too.
I was keeping most of the words as they were in the original, which explains 
{chenmoH}.
My main point was that a comparative construction is always a sentence in its 
own right, and can't be treated as just a noun phrase.

I also dislike the Klingon spellings (QIStoS, and in another article, ro'men 
qatlhlIq [or something like that]. At the very least they should have the 
original spelling so people don't have to guess.).  There are lots of superfluous 
apostrophes in Klingon renderings, and they serve no point, since they do not 
reflect anything in the original name, nor are they required by Klingon 
grammar.

Why is there no link to the Klingon wikipedia from the main one?
