lay'SIv:
What's the connection between the Year Games and Proechel (Glen, I assume)?

I believe he organized his own set of Year Games at his Interstellar Language School and was, IIRC, the first to come up with the obvious translation {DIS Qujmey}.

The phrase "Year Games" originated in John Ford's novel "The Final Reflection", and has since spread to Klingon fandom in general. See <http://www.yeargames.com/>http://www.yeargames.com for more information and pictures about one version of these Games, now in it's 12th year.
