Oops, I forgot to add -chugh on Daqap.
...Daqapchugh... If you insist...

"Identify the direction of actual Klingon writing."
I was referring to how some languages are written in other directions.  This Klingon that we are
writing here on the list is not the "real" Klingon.  We don't know how to actually write in real
Klingon.  Sometimes we use a "pIqaD" font, but that simply maps over the Roman characters we
normally use; merely offering a "look" of being Klingon.
