The English translation is missing a line:
"United to do battle together!
Against the tyrant Molor!
Against fear and against weakness!"
Looking back over the archive, I see where the confusion arose. 'ISqu'
quoted only the second and third lines out of the Klingon, and the
first and third out of the English. I then corrected her by noting
that she had dropped a line in Klingon, which I then supplied -- but
without the accompanying missing English line! The exchange took
place on Nov. 27, 2011 if you want to look in the archives.
There are three lines of Klingon, and three lines of English. They now
all appear in the above.
