Usually, his answer is that since Klingon is a spoken language, it
doesn't matter. But since we usually only WRITE Klingon, it does matter
for us, so I'll ask... :-)
Right, which is why I'm not as concerned about that as *{Qob/ghob/ghab-'etlh}. We basically know that {Hov lat} and {SoS taj} are correct, whether o not there also happens to be a lexicalised form *{Hovlat} or *{SoStaj}. But it's annoying that we don't know the name of a Klingon weapon. It's also annoying that we can't easily run the Klingon CD game to look at what the {nuH bey'} looks like any more.
(Lieven will probably reply to this telling me that pictures of everything from KCD is on the KlingonWiki somewhere, but I couldn't find any.)
