TKW 27: The Klingon word for "instincts" is {Duj}, and it is
<br>
grammatically correct to treat it as singular (a bundle or
collection
<br>
of instincts) or plural (individual instincts).
<br>

I wonder if there's some connection between the meaning of {DujlIj
yIvoqtaH} "Always trust your instincts (each one separately)", and
{DujlIj <u>yI</u>toqtaH}; "Always trust you're <i>ship</i>." Is
this an intentional double entendre on MO's part? Or is it simply
a happenstance of homophony?<br>
