Well constructed word. Hits harder than the English translation.

If anyone asks me about world politics I'm going 
to sound mighty strange trotting out the names of 
world leaders in a Klingon accent. "You know, HamID qarSay." :-)

Probably an editing slip: this sentence as object 
construction lacks a sentence before the 'e'. Is 
it <toy'taH 'e' nup> or <toy'taHmeH poH nup>?

I'm curious: does your personal English 
pronunciation of Mediterranean substitute an r 
for the D sound, or is this transliteration 
modelled on the pronunciation in another language?

>puSwen

I haven't seen that form before. I probably would have said wen puS.

The -meH clause is supposed to precede the clause it modifies.

'ISlam is a verb now? The counterpart of yID? :-)

>'eSya'

Had to say that one aloud a few times.

Keep it up. I really appreciate these. I think 
this one read more smoothly than its 
predecessors, or perhaps I'm just getting more 
adept with the diplomatic vocabulary. Definitely a weak spot for me.
