Does "Klin" mean anything in (John M. Ford's version of) Klingonaase?
Bot that I know of. It's part of "Klin Zha" and "Klin Zhai", but no more.
Many endonyms/autonyms (people's names for themselves) mean something like "the people" in their own language. I wonder if {tlhIn} and {tlhIngan} are related (perhaps through {tlhIn-ngan} meaning something like "inhabitants of our own planet").
Remember that the Klingons were first situated on a planet named "Kling", but the producers soon rejected that name, being too silly. We still have the {tlhIng yoS}.
Aside: How is the randomisation for KWOTD done? It seems to be disproportionately "newer words", rather than uniformly random.
I noticed that too. It may be a technical error, but on the other hand, TKD+KGT has roughly 2000 words, and after that we got about 1000 new words, so maybe even when doing randomization, every third word is "new". -- Lieven L.
