Interesting. I always sort of figured it might be a Morskan thing. The
transliteration between "gladst" and {tlhatlh} doesn't make much sense in
the standard dialect, but in the Morskan dialect, {tlhatlh} would sound
like {ghlats}, much closer to "gladst". Maybe the Morskans helped conquer
Taganika.
