[Tlhingan-hol] The Lord's Prayer

The FAQ suggests that he used different words, "This came up once 
before, in Nick Nicholas' translation of the Lord's Prayer, where he 
translated "those who transgressed against us" as nuQu'maghwI'pu'." 
Perhaps that was an early version and the calligraphy one is based on 
a later one. You can spot the oldest ones as they are -ghach free. I 
still can't find it.

Here's another one.

Lots of mistakes, but might be some ideas, e.g. I think not seeking 
revenge is a very interesting cast for "forgive".

Here's one by Peter, who goes by martiancyclist on Live Journal

Here's another one, no attribution, from a Big Bang Theory forum

While looking for Nick's again I found this 
www.qaos.de/Liedersammlung.doc  stunning list of German filk songs, 
some of which are about Klingons, and towards the end there are some 
in tlhIngan Hol, some familiar and some new to me.  The German for 
tribbles appears to be Tribbles--I would have thought Tribblen.

I love how the Paramount Hol <jIH bang SoH> -- clearly the result of 
someone trying to do a word-for-word look up on "I love you" can be 
turned into meaning "You are my love" just by applying the 
grammatical variation that gives us <jIH 'em>.

Also: what the heck is this page:

?

I don't know how to search the KLI archives anymore.
