In addition to this, writers on Memory Alpha do not accept
Okrandian
<br>
canon as Star Trek canon. If the script would reveal a spelling
like
<br>
"po-koot" or so, then <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>that<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>
would be the Star Trek canon.

It seems silly from our point of view, but their policy is very
strict
<br>
on this. (and I have had many and long discussions with them)

<p>I don't think it's silly at all. Their interest is in Star Trek
canon, and rightly so. Fans interested in Star Trek canon have no
more reason to accept something Okrand says in a Facebook message
to me as Star Trek canon than I do in accepting a line some writer
has put in the mouth of a Klingon as Okrandian canon.<br>
