Re: mu' chu' - 'el'I'jaH (?)

Robyn Stewart ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol po'wI']



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.
