If we talk on the phone, and I say to you {DaH paq mu'mey vIjatlh}, then according to the newly revealed Ca'Non, the *only* way this is understood is, that I'm holding the book reading from the inside.
You cannot always reverse such info. It never sai that it ONLY means reading from a book. I see this more literally: In English, I may say "I now speak the words from the book". Do you know if I have the book, or know from my mind? I think the same happens in Klingon. The phrase does not include the reading, and it does not exclude reciting by heart.
But what if I'm not actually reading from the inside, but I've memorized the passage in question ?
That is a good question, and I know that it's already on Maltz' desk. We just need to be patient a little. Maltz is traveling a lot. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/InTheYear2889
