Re: [Tlhingan-hol] A Klingon Christmas Carol -- wab ta yIQoy

&gt; That&#39;s looks good except his name is spelt SQuja&#39; and there shouldn&#39;t be an &#39;e&#39; an the end of HIvje&#39;wIj. The script also has the line tlhIngan SoH&#39;a&#39; as tlhIngan SoH qar&#39;a&#39;, but I can&#39;t listen to the audio to know if he says &#39;a&#39; or qar&#39;a&#39; in this recording.</p>

<p>Is the script publicly available?  Since I can&#39;t get the DVD, I&#39;d love to read it.</p>
<p>I wrote *{SI&#39;Quja} instead of {SQuja&#39;} because I thought a Klingon name can&#39;t begin with {SQ} even if it sounds that way, and the final glottal stop isn&#39;t clear.  They basically say &quot;Scrooja&quot;.</p>

<p>The actor actually flubbed {HIvje&#39;wIj} and said something that sounded like *{HIvwIjje&#39;} (i.e., he transposed two syllables).  I wrote down {HIvje&#39;wIj&#39;e&#39;} to be a bit generous, and what he said could&#39;ve passed for that.</p>
