You’ve been away from the rest of us for far too long, friend. Email in general, and the tlhingan-hol list in particular, is becoming much less of a focus for the Klingon community. We’re gathered on Discord now, with a smaller secondary congregation on Facebook. There are more of us who *are* using this language to “express anything” now than can comfortably go out to dinner together. We barely fit at the same table for {ghem} last week!

I hope you can find a way to rejoin us in person at next year’s qep'a', but if you really want to experience the language’s maturity you need to join us on Discord.

https://www.kli.org/discord will give you an invitation to the KLI’s Discord server.
