For <br>the glossary, he added:<br>-------------------------<br>"be polite" is okay. Also "be civil, courteous." Very un-Klingon!<br>-------------------------<br><br>Next, we talked about a "prophet". Not the religious person like Jesus <br>or Mohammed, but more some kind of a person who seems to be able to see <br>or know things that others can't.<br><br>Okrand forwarded this from Maltz:<br><br>-------------------------<br>This is a {tuch rItwI'} (or, if the context is clear, {rItwI'} for <br>short). {tuch rIt} means "to prophesize, see the future, know the <br>future." For Klingons, the "prophet" is able to "summon" the future <br>somehow.<br>-------------------------<br><br><br>-- <br>Lieven L.
