I disagree. Languages borrow all the time. So, since Maltz hasn't given us a
lot of chemical terminology (yet...right, Maltz?), borrow! Bring it into
Klingon, at least temporarily for this project, and make it fit the
phonology. 'amIn? 'a'mIn? Easy. For this abstract, it would work perfectly
well, I think.
