Star Trek is an idea. TOS, TNG, DS9, etc. are representations of

Especially not sure about <tlhIch purwI'> due to the

<p><b>tlhIch purwI'</b><i> smoke inhaler:</i> the subject of <b>pur</b>
inhales something. The English might be ambiguous; the Klingon is
not. <b>tlhIch purmeH jan</b><i> device for inhaling smoke</i>
might be a pipe, but it might also be a cigarette or a bong.</p>
<p>Whenever you use a pronoun as a verb, any noun phrases that go on
the right side of the pronoun must have <b>-'e'</b> attached to
them.<br>

<p>With the understanding that you're talking about these things
being <b>qech mIllogh</b> <i>visual depictions of an idea.</i> <b>mIllogh</b>
means a visual depiction, not an abstract representation (unless
it's a visual one).<br>
