As I posted earlier I want to help translate Henry V into klingon.
 
Here is my first attempt.
It encludes ONLY the list of characters and the prologue spoken by
CHorus.
NOTES:
       I have named Chorus <jatlhwI'> instead of <qoreS> because I want
to use the original meaning/origin of Chorus.
       I  want  to  transliterate  the  names  properly  so  I  am  open to
 suggestions.
          I decided instead of making the war against FRANCE it is against
<DIvI'> The Federation.
          In Shakespear, at least, humans *DO* love  long  sentences  where
Klingon  would  be  a bit more to the point. Nonetheless I tried NOT to cut
out what jatlhwI' had to say. You be the judge.
          I translated HORSES to <muqengbogh Ha'DIbaHmey> I am open to  you
suggetions.
          In order to discribe "the perilous narrow ocean" that  parts  the
two empires I use <bIQtIq'a'> "A big river."
          In order t say PLAY, as in a performance, as <ta'> ACCOMPLISHMENT
but this, good or bad, can also mean EMPIROR.
          Because  Chorus/jatlhwI'   begs   for   mercy   because  he  cant
do  justice  to  such a great story on such a simple stage he might perhaps
best NOT be cast as a Klingon. He cowers too much.
          Please  point out the obvious mistakes and ambiguities that I can
find.
          I welcome you suggestion.
