I just remembered a canon example from ST5. Only partially used in the
film, but from Okrand's notes:
vubpu' jonta' HeSwI'. wa' vub ghaH tlhIngan gharwI''e'. wa' ghaH
tera'ngan'e'.
I don't have the translation at hand, I'd say this would use a colon in
English:
"Hostages have been taken: One Klingon diplomat and one Terran."
