<br>> Since the Klingons likely first heard of the Borg from the Federation, it's likely they'd
call them Borg or *bor'Iq or *borgh or something.<br><br>Initially I transcribed it as {borgh}, but eventually I decided to avoid transliterating any names that didn't already appear in canon. So I've used {janluq pIqarD} and {wo'rIv}, but most of the rest are untransliterated.<br>

I might skip over {'ej DaH DIvI' luyotchoH}, because the following sentence - "and this time there may be no stopping them" - also begins with {'ej DaH} and I think it might sound a little weird.<br><br>Thanks for the comments.
