I've always figured some kind of {tlhIngan Hol yejquv} would be the best
way to keep things going after Okrand, rather than having one single person
as the new authority. (Perhaps its starting members could be suggested by
Okrand, to emphasize an Official Line Of Succession.) When questions come
in about grammar or vocabulary, they consult each other, make proposals,
argue for a while, and then if an agreeable conclusion is reached, make
some kind of Official Announcement on the KLI website. If an agreeable
conclusion can't be reached, then maybe the varying perspectives can be
presented transparently as an actual argument "real" Klingon grammarians
are having back on Qo'noS, so both perspectives can still be considered
canonical, even if there's disagreement about which is "proper". (Or
perhaps I'm underestimating how intense the internal arguments would get...)
