I actually have an email draft about this sitting in my drafts folder,
which I hadn't sent yet because of the "30 day moratorium" on new canon.
Amazon shows a "publication date" of Oct. 24 and a "release date" of Nov.
6, so we are supposed to wait about another week before discussing it.
I'll answer your question without saying anything about the actual words of
the content. Yes, it's *mostly* real Klingon, with a very straightforward
mapping between the Okrandian transcription and the {pIqaDqoq} used in the
book.
I'll go a little bit further and say that it's a gorgeous book with a
stylistic and beautiful script for {pIqaD}, so if you're a Klingonist I'd
recommend picking one up. I bought one off Lieven at the qepHom last month
(thanks, Lieven!).
Like you, I have similar questions for the list: What was Marc Okrand's
involvement in this and what was the KLI's (they are both credited)?
Should the uses and definitions of Klingon terms and Klingon sentences
found in this book be considered as coming from Okrand (i.e., like the
Bird-of-Prey poster), or are they from KLI members?
