_______________________________________________

(qep’a’ 2020):  Maltz says Klingons don’t get colds (though, despite what he says, Klingons are not immune from other, somewhat similar afflictions). Another way to refer to this Earth disease, generally unsympathetically, is Ptera’ rop bIr}, which is, of course, a misguided translation.
