LANGUAGE NOTES:

TKD 59:  As in any language, Klingon sentences range from the very simple and straightforward to the very complex and convoluted.

KGT 158:  There is no simple non-slang verb for "butt heads".

KGT 207:  Finally, there are some words that simply do not translate. One must resort to descriptions rather than simple one- or two-word translations...

CULTURAL NOTES:

KGT 75:  Wind instruments ... range from the simple flute or fife ({Dov'agh}), generally crafted from a bone, to the highly complex {meSchuS}. This is a very large instrument, not at all easily moved from place to place, which consists of a network of interlocking tubes.
