So it rhymes with <br>"Mickey" or "picky." If "Klingonized," I think it would be {wI'qIy}. <br>It's not a Klingon word, but Klingons would use the Federation Standard <br>word (probably pronounced in the Klingon way) for this Federation thing. <br>I don't know if Klingons have a similar sort of thing. I'll have to see <br>what Maltz has to say. (It's okay to forward this information – the <br>important part is that it's not a Klingon word, but the Klingon <br>pronunciation [and spelling] of a Federation Standard word that Klingons <br>use from time to time. Same as {'e'levan}. Or you can wait and we can <br>just include it in the qepHom wish list.)<br>-------------<br><br><br>-- <br>Lieven L.
