No idea. I provided all the information I had. (Were other Klingonists involved in the project?) But since Okrand is the Washington Shakespeare board president, this was public sign at the box office and it's consistent with the PK example, it's a good bet. In fact, it's the use of {-ta'} over {-pu'} in {je'lu'ta'bogh} that tips the balance for me; it feels like his style.
I'm assuming that Okrand used the KLI's translations for "Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing", but what we all want to see are his translations of scenes from other plays which were staged. Does anybody know if he plans on releasing them?
