mailing list of the KLI. You can find the FAQ:

on WWW at
       http://labs.thomtech.com/~dspeers/klingon/faq.htm



==========================================================
5. "Paramount Hol" FAQ
==========================================================
(by [email protected])


If you are interested in Klingon words seen on the Star Trek TV shows,
surf your way over to...

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/6559/parhol.html

.and take a look at the collection of "Paramount Hol." The casual
fan will most likely find the list interesting from a trivia point of
view. Serious students of tlhIngan Hol, on the other hand,
will probably find it amusing the way Paramount butchers Marc Okrand's
language for the shows!

For instance, why does Martok alwats say "mahk-cha" when he should say
yIchu'?  The simple reason: nobody at Paramount has ever
bothered to use the language they were given at their own request by a
professsional linguist.  Even when the writers do manage to crack open
their dusty Klingon Dictionaries, they use bad grammar and syntax.
Even Klingon beginners know that Klingon sentences go
OBJECT-VERB-SUBJECT, but the writers will continually try to
translate word-for-word, and tlhIngan Hol just doesn't
work that way!


==========================================================
6. Klingonaase FAQ

13. Spinoff
==========================================================


Thanks to all the Klingons making the fandom such a great place. These
are especially the ones supporting me constantly with their
information.


DISCLAIMER! I know that everything even REMOTELY concerning
STAR TREK is the sole, exclusive and stingily held property of
Paramount. No infringement of those rights is even thought about.

But... this list is mine, not Paramount  {{;-)
Distribute and contribute!
