Interesting call on using Klinzhai for transcriptions; makes sense and adds some variety.
I've noticed that the glyph used for 'g' in such words as "Gaslamp" and "San Diego" appears to differ from the one used in this chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Klinzhai_alphabet.GIF
...while the rest appear to be the same. Actually, I can't seem to find any glyph resembling the one you've used for 'g'. Is there a reason for this?
Oh, and while I'm at it, I'd like to thank the San Diego Klingons - particularly the translators, but also the warriors who helped take the station - for putting on this wanI' Dun; as a person who can't be there physically, I'm glad they've attracted enough attention that I can this from home :)
There's now an article on cnn.com, by the way: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/07/21/klingons.sdcc/#fbid=E9Mpbf9snW9
