tlho'. :)


> Since the Klingons likely first heard of the Borg from the Federation, it's likely they'd
 call them Borg or *bor'Iq or *borgh or something.

Initially I transcribed it as {borgh}, but eventually I decided to avoid transliterating any names that didn't already appear in canon. So I've used {janluq pIqarD} and {wo'rIv}, but most of the rest are untransliterated.

bIlughchu'. vIchoH.

loghaD:

Yeah, I realise now that though {nargh} works, there are better verbs.

> or qaS[choH] (or even qaSchoHmoHlu').

Since brevity is a factor here I'd avoid the latter, but {qaS} definitely works.



jIH:
> Borg'e' - jaghma''e' chaH Qob law' Hoch Qob puS - DIvI' luyot 'e' lutagh.

loghaD:
> Very good rephrasing of "The Borg - our most lethal enemy"!
> That being said, I might recommend something like jaghma''e' Borg Qob law' Hoch Qob puS, 'ej DaH DIvI' luyotchoH.

I'll take that on board. I might skip over {'ej DaH DIvI' luyotchoH}, because the following sentence - "and this time there may be no stopping them" - also begins with {'ej DaH} and I think it might sound a little weird.

Thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming!
