\Well, someone already invented some words, at least, in Romulan (don't know
\who...could've been Diane Duane), but that wouldn't necessarily stop
\Okrand...after all, Klingonaase predates tlhingan Hol, qar'a'?
Oh, quite. The official word from Paramount is that the books are not canon.
None of them. Not even the novelization of the first movie written by The
Great Bird himself. Ford's Klingons and Duane(? I think you're right about
her)'s Rihannsu are fascinating but non-canonical cultures. Nothing to stop
Paramount from asking someone to develop Romulan - and if they want Okrand and
Okrand wants to do it, majQa'!
