I received this email directly just now. While I hunt down whatever assistance I can give, I thought I'd forward it on to the list and see if I can get the ball rolling.

> Hello,

> I am writing to you today in hopes of assistance in a Klingon translation project. I retrieved your email address off of the Klingon Language Institute Discussion Board, and am hopeful that you might be able to help me, or at least point me in the right direction. I have already had emails bounce back as "undeliverable" for all administrator addresses at the KLI website. I am hoping to translate "Without Thorn the Rose" (Milton, Paradise Lost). I have done the research and checked many resources, however I am unable to find the words "rose" and "thorn" defined either at the KLI or at other Klingon translation websites. Would you be able to assist?

I would like to add this phrase to my tattoo. I think that the Klingon Gods would have approved, had they not all been slain by their creations.
