NOTE:
Because of the short of known Klingon words, there are many awkward expressions in this text. see below:
Original German; English; awkward Klingon
Pelzmantel; fur coat; Ha'DIbaH DIr wep
grosse Spitznase; big sharp nose; ghIch tIn jej
den langen, schwarzen, tartarischen Bert; long thin black Tartar beard; rol tIq lang qIj
...in these cases, I do not know if Klingon adjectival verbs can be connected simply.
...etc.
In the last edition, I had to use ((QoymoHwI')) for "ear". Now the word ((qogh)) had been discovered. I knew this word from "HolQeD" Vol.2 No.4. The "HolQeD" is the publishment of KLI. I thank KLI.
I hope that more words will be discovered some dey.
