And of course had I wanted to be formally correct I would have said:
chaq maQummeH Skype wIlo'laH
But despite the "sk" blend--which as voragh postulated some dialects
of tlhIngan Hol may have--the single syllable is easy to drop into
Klingon syntax. It may even have been planned to fit in many
languages. It doesn't mean anything, does it?
