And this is not a trivial subject. None of us, including 'oqranD, will live forever, and the Klingon language will go on after all of us have (hopefully!) gone to that place of honor that all true warriors go to. A sucession mechanism will at some point need to be worked out that will the language to continue to function and grow. Otherwise, Klingon will become like the Tolkien languages, frozen at the time that J.R.R. Tolkien died and not developed much since.

There's only one Coca Cola. Only one, genuine, authentic, all-american Coca Cola. And there's only one Klingon. Only one genuine, authentic, Klingon. And that's The Klingon of 'oqranD. Everyone planning to take over the day 'oqranD chooses to retire, needs to understand this. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
