Re: mu' chu' - 'el'I'jaH (?)
I never heard it pronounced. He opened a notebook and uncovered the
word. I most certainly could have remembered it incorrectly. I saw it
only as a Klingonized Elijah. I don't know Hebrew, so I wouldn't have
recognized Eliyahu. I remembered it as containing all the letters of
elijaH, with some stops thrown in. It could easily have been
'elI'jaH. I think Lawrence saw it too, maybe he remembers.
