[tlhIngan Hol] pseudo-Klingon words from the paq'batlh

[Will Martin]

Note that in English, we don’t refer to “Jesus, the anointed”. We transliterate names more often than translate them.

So, why should we translate a name in Klingon instead of transliterating it? If he decides to give the name, it will probably be something like *jIySIS QaySet*.
