Playing word-games" was not on my agenda and that was the reason for my replacement proverb. If that wasn't enough I'll apologise in English: I'm sorry for the confusion.

I wasn't accusing you of playing word-games; I meant that we all have to play word-games when we come across a concept which simply hasn't been given to us in Klingon. We simply don't know what Klingons call the stuff that falls from the sky when it peDs. To talk about that stuff, we have to play word-games. We have to invent descriptions that our listeners are going to understand, then talk about the stuff we just described without ever actually naming it. Or we have to side-step talking about the actual stuff and just hint at it by talking about its effects or its origin.
