… and royal names:
(KGT 126): In Shakespeare's original Klingon version of *HenrI' vagh*, known in Federation Standard as /Henry V/, *HenrI'*, the Supreme Commander, gets into an argument with one of his troops the night before a great battle.
The point here is that royal names are read out using the cardinal number (just like planet names), not the ordinal with –*DIch* as in, say, English king /Henry the Eighth. /
For slightly different reasons. *Do'natu vagh* is not /Donatu Number Five;/ the *vagh* /five/ is just a label that happens to follow a numeric sequence. *HenrI' vagh,* however, actually is the Henry Number Five. I wonder how Klingons would translate the names /Ingraham B//and/ /Theta Cygni XII/? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
