[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon game on Discovery

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Note that these pictures appear to have come before anybody (presumably Qov, or perhaps ghunchu'wI') had a chance to correct it; the artist appears to have attempted to get the language right, but presumably it wasn't a priority for the concept art.

There is one correct phrase on the DarSeq coins (which had presumably already been translated for an earlier episode):

DaH Suto'vo'qor vIjaH 'ach 'opleS jIchegh 'e' vIlay'

as well as many words that make sense, but then there are some phrases like *Qo' juS* nad *ratlh tlhIngan* that suggest Bingon / word-by-word translation.

So, if anybody's planning to make replicas, they may want to see how they ended up in the actual episode.

The game was apparently originally named *tS'ang* or *t'Sang*, and named after graphic designed Andy Tsang.

Presumably, they asked Qov/ghunchu'wI' if that worked, and were told that {tISang} fit the syllable structure better and also meant something in Klingon.

A few days ago, Star Trek Discovery Designer Tamara Deverell has shared
some drawings of the Klingon game tISang and also for the used currency.
So if anyone needs a new task for their 3D-printer, here we go.

Few information on the words can be found in the Wiki, but that needs
some more input:
