[Tlhingan-hol] Linguistic confusion

[Qov]

I think I've had my first instance of misunderstanding something in 
English because I speak Klingon.

I was at a museum today, in an English-speaking area and there was a 
sign on one of those giant mining trucks, "Do not climb on truck. Use 
stairway to access cab."

So I thought, "Wow, cool, I can go in the truck cab!"  I looked and 
there was what I would happily call a letlh right there, going up the 
front of the truck to the cab. Maybe it was more a choghvat, but some 
people would call it a letlh. I was halfway up it before someone 
pointed out that there was a normal staircase, like in a house, 
behind a wall that went into the back of the exhibit.

I honestly think I got it wrong because I mentally translated the sign.
