I took your message (below) and ran it through my Klingon analyzer program.
1)  I changed "sIbI'" to "SIbI'"
2)  pabpo'pu'  fails.  po' is listed in the lexicon only as a verb/adjective
(be-expert), but probably indicates the noun "expert" as well.  I'll consider
changing the lexicon in my program.
3) Daj in the main lexicon is listed as "be-interesting".  Daj in the appendix
lexicon is listed as "test-inconclusively".  Could be a typo or oversight.

Comments welcome.
