That's really cool; hope everything goes well!

Probably a bit too positive; makes it sound nutritious. Maybe =ABpuq Sojqoq=
=BB? Or even =ABSoj Dogh=BB ("silly food"), or =AB'eywI' Dogh=BB ("silly de=
licious thing(s)")?

Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] Sweets
I've been invited to participate in a BBC TV show teaching children to spea=
k Klingon. Only a crash course, but the producer had the idea that the kids=
could run a scenario where they go out and buy sweets in Klingon.
So I'm running the following ideas past you for terms they could be using d=
uring the show.
puq Soj - sweets
We already have leng Soj from KGT, but "puq Soj" seems more appropriate for=
this show.
naHlet yuch - chocolate (covered) nuts
naHHom yuch - chocolate (covered) raisins
qagh ngeb - sugar worms (literally "false qagh") (probably they'd use dyed =
liquorice shoelaces)
They're kids, and it is a British kids' show so nobody's expecting them to =
come out of it spouting Klingon poetry; but I just wanted to pass these by =
you so you could comment and offer advice.
