It has come to my attention that James Doohan, actor for the Star Trek 
character "Scotty," has passed away.  In a real sense, Doohan was also 
an inventor of tlhIngan-Hol.  It was he that wrote the Klingon speech in 
the first Star Trek movie, and Marc Okrand based his work on those early 
sounds, retrofitting them so that they made some sort of sense.

Mr. Doohan was 85 years old.
