[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: 'ap

[kechpaja]

At first I thought I might be mis-remembering the name of the
protagonist of *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", but his first
name is definitively "Arthur", and I don't see evidence of it having
been changed in any of the various incarnations of that series.
