I wasn't accusing /you/ of playing word-games; I meant that we all have 
to play word-games when we come across a concept which simply hasn't 
been given to us in Klingon. We simply don't know what Klingons call the 
stuff that falls from the sky when it *peD*s. To talk about that stuff, 
we have to play word-games. We have to invent descriptions that our 
listeners are going to understand, then talk about the stuff we just 
described without ever actually naming it. Or we have to side-step 
talking about the actual stuff and just hint at it by talking about its 
effects or its origin.
