batlh choja', Will Martin quv:
= I seem to remember this being another Worf original. It was something
=cheezy like {Daqba}. Note the absence of glottal stop at the end. I don't
=think Dorn is CAPABLE of a glottal stop, but that is based on the
=circumstantial evidence that he has never pronounced one on TV. That's
=probably why Okrand wouldn't let him say anything Klingon on CK or ST6...
=Face it. The man couldn't pronounce Klingon well enough to call off a
=charging targh.
Maybe. (His "nascent tonal" choking on "mu*'*qaD veS in CK notwithstanding).
He's damnably sexy though.
(With the long mane of flowing hair, a la season 4, I mean. I seen him with
a crew cut, and with his more recent ponytail, and the mensch looks
ludicrous.)
Nick, wondering what the status of gays is in Klingon culture, realising
he's just stepped in some flamebait, and lamenting the gutlessness of
American family entertainment.
PS. Will, "full stop" is Commonweatlh English for "period".
PPS. Another Woofie original is "'aqtu melota je", the title of the
Klingon opera he mumbled a bit of in "Reunification."
