So would I. I was reading it in Klingon without reference to the
English, so it wasn't completely clear whom he was approaching for guidance.

I just think it's so adorable that the god says nuqneH. It's a
greeting AND an interrogation.

Hoch'e'? lutwIj DalaDlI''a'? nuq bop bom 'oH lut pong'e'. nuq bop
bom? wej vI'ang. nuq bop lut? Hoch'e'!
It's a twelve chapter saga, but it's divided into little tiny
'ay'mey, so you can use it to keep your Klingon vocabulary fresh
with a daily 250 word dose of SuvwI' Hol. Battle, navigation, sex,
engineering, first aid, intrigue, cleaning the bathroom, economics,
agriculture, monday morning meetings, checking e-mail, cirque de
soleil, espionage, love, revenge, petty bureaucracy, physics, more
sex, more intrigue ... there is nowhere the story won't go.
I accidentally posted two chapters today, generally it's one a day,
or read from the beginning to almost now at http://nuqbopbom.blogspot.com
Sorry De'vID, I shouldn't hijack your thread. Read De'vID's stuff
too! He's translating every 200 word story he can find. So far, his
have less sex and blood, and clearer morals.
