&gt;&gt; SHUTTLECRAFT VOICE: Control, this is SD one zero three approaching</p>
<p>Quvar:<br>
&gt; Is this &quot;SD&quot; something that needs to be trasnlated?</p>
<p>I don&#39;t think so.  Since these are subtitles, they&#39;re to be read visually (i.e., not out loud).  I haven&#39;t translated &quot;NCC&quot; in &quot;NCC 1701&quot; either.  I don&#39;t know what, if anything, &quot;SD&quot; stands for, so I don&#39;t know what to translate them into, and a phonetic transliteration like *{&#39;eS DIy} is likely to be confusing to the reader.</p>

&gt;&gt; McCOY: *jIym*?</p>
<p>Quvar:<br>
&gt; Did you talk about these names already? I don&#39;t like *jIym*, because I+y makes a long I-sounds, as in &quot;jeeem&quot;. Why not use *jIm*, which sounds the same in english?</p>
<p>QeS &#39;utlh raised this same point.  I wrote *{jIym} because I thought for some reason that I&#39;d seen this used for Kirk&#39;s name somewhere, but I can&#39;t find the source (or maybe I imagined this or confused it with something else).  </p>

<p>I&#39;ll change this and all instances to {jIm}.  This must look very funny to a Klingon, since it&#39;s a word meaning &quot;heave&quot; (an aircraft rising or falling without pitching).</p>
<p>&quot;James T. Kirk&quot; is {jemS tIy qIrq} in canon.  Maybe &quot;Jim&quot; should be *{jemSoy}? :-)</p>
