And that's why the convention exists. Not because it's "canonical," not 
because it's a rule of Klingon grammar, but because it helps us 
recognize the difference between a lexicalized word and a phrase that we 
made up ourselves. Okrand doesn't have to figure out which words are 
lexicalized and which aren't; we do.
