You'll also discover some very curious vocabulary. For example, who would
have guessed there would be words for paper clip {mavjop}, writer's cramp
{ngav} or pajamas {nIvnav}? And although they started out as little jokes
by Okrand, they can sometimes come in handy. For example, we saw Worf
wearing pajamas in that TNG episode where the crew devolves into their
primitive ancestral forms. (Anyone remember the episode title?)
