[tlhIngan Hol] Duran lung DIr

[Steven Boozer]

Okrand also says on KCD that Durani lizard skins are "served dried and thinly sliced."  The slices are probably eaten by the handful, like potato chips or popcorn.  (As the old American TV commercial said, "You can never eat just one!").   But I'm sure you can refer to the {DIrDu'} before you fry them and slice them up.

Okrand says on Klingon CD:
-------------
"Lizard" is only a close approximation of what the Klingon word lung {means}. "Salamander" might do just as well, but in fact, neither is accurate. The word for skin is {DIr}. The plural form of this word is never used when referring to the skin of this animal prepared as food.
-------------

In my opinion, he just wanted to say that you don't use it in a phrase like {Duran lung *DIrmey vISop}. If there are several skins "floating around", I'm sure it's okay to use the plural suffix there.
