  Because you serve the Klingon Language Institute, we commend you. (KLI's FMC)

(HQ 4.4:11):  The most general word for school (a place for learning) is {DuSaQ}.  A specialized school, perhaps translatable as academy, is {'ampaS}.  An organization dedicated to scholastic pursuits or research is a {yejHaD} "institute" or "institution" or a {yej'an} "society".  The distinction between {yejHaD} and {yej'an} is not clear, though the former is usually - but not always - used for larger organizations.  It is not known whether the first syllable of these words ({yej}) is {yej} "council, assembly", but there could be some historic connection.

Lawrence Schoen reported that when he told Marc Okrand of some people's quibbles regarding the legitimacy of {yejHaD}, "he laughed and suggested that surely the KLI is a very ancient and venerable institution, whose name goes back to an earlier dialect!"
