[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: veSDuj

[Robyn Stewart]

Of those the L bugs me the most, but then I used to be irritated by words like 'ampaS, qul, and jIb with links back to English. It was when I realized that immersed in Klingon grammar, no one is ever going to see or hear the tricks, that I accepted that that was simply how Marc was building his language, and I could pretend they were all coincidence
