Now, if only you can reverse engineer proto-Klingon, which unifies
{pIqaD} with the Mandel/Klinzhai script
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_alphabets#Mandel_script).
I also recently discovered a photo I'd taken of a notebook from many
years ago, when I was learning the different Klingon writing systems.
At the time, I wanted to write everything in Klingon. Of course, I
was missing a lot of words, so I used the Mandel/Klinzhai script to
transliterate technical and other vocabulary which I didn't have.
Otherwise, the Klingon was written in proper sentences using {pIqaD}.
The result is this interesting jumble:

I don't think I have the notebook any more, so this photo is the only
evidence I have that at one point, I was able to read and write in
this mixed form of {pIqaD} and Mandel/Klinzhai script. I can't read
it myself any more, although I'm sure it's probably not that hard to
decipher, given a bit of time.
