Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Child-related vocabulary
<p dir="ltr">I have a food picture book I made many years ago using images from the Klingon Language Lab CD. It's about qeylIS eating different foods. I'll have to dig it out and update it as I made it over a decade ago.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There aren't any plans to have pages with illustrated word groups currently, but if you want to volunteer to spearhead such a project, I can definetly help get it all on the website. :) </p>
<p dir="ltr">That goes for anyone with ideas for the new site. If you think we need something, and you're willing to coordinate it, we can work on getting it added.</p>

It would be particularly nice to make a few Klingon-language picture books (I have most of the text of one worked out, though I would require the assistance of someone with an artistic bent if I want to finish that project).
