Okay, thanks for this, BUT:
a) I was talking about Klingon,
b) even though most people might not know where "M=E4dchen" comes from, =
the word "Magd" still does exist (although seldomly used.)
Im am sure we will find hundereds of examples like this in english or =
german. Kanin-chen, Eichh=F6rn-chen, Ku-chen...
;-)
