[Tlhingan-hol] Ten Commandments in Klingon

[qov at kli.org]

The Klingon for Egypt is maSIr. If you don't know the Klingon equivalent for a proper noun, the recommended practice is to write is as you would in the source language and surround it with asterisks, e.g. *Mali* DoQ mangghom.

And my flight has just been called, so I haven't read past that.
