If we allow these transgressions now, later what additional attacks
will we need to accept too ?

> MO to De'vID (5/29/2015):  Maltz tells me, though, that there is a word for certificate. It's {Qoyje'} and Maltz said it could be used for the kind of certificate you're talking about, but also for other things, such as a diploma. It can't be used for a license or a permit - that, of course, is {chaw'}. The difference is that a {Qoyje'} is proof or verification of some sort of achievement or accomplishment, but it doesn't necessarily allow you to do anything as a result of that. A {chaw'} shows that you are officially or legally allowed to do or get or own something. Maltz said that *{yer ghajwI' Qoyje'} for "deed" might seem to make sense (rather than {yer ghajwI' chaw'}), but not from a Klingon legal perspective, since property ownership is granted by a government or other sort of authority - it's not an accomplishment (though those of us paying mortgages might feel otherwise).
