HQ continues:
A specialized school, perhaps translatable as "academy", is {'ampaS}.
An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a
{yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society". The
distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the
former is usually--but not always--used for larger organizations.
[...] {tlhIngan yej'an} would probably be "The Klingon Society", a
group dedicated to the study of Klingons.
E.g. {tlhIngan Hol yejHaD} the Klingon Language Institute (KLI) and Glen
Proechel's {Hovmey joj Hol DuSaq} Interstellar Language School
(<http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8853/>http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8853/).
Cf. the Klingon *{Sov yejHaD} "Institute of Knowing" (according to Lawrence
Schoen, the equivalent of the Vulcan Academy of Science [GILGAMESH]).
