Looks like Qov believed Marc translated the sonnet, based on the back-translation making *DoD* equal *coordinates.* I'm not sure I follow that explanation, but okay.
I don't get the *DoD* thing either. But the way the back-translation of the sonnet is written reminds me a lot of how Okrand wrotes his back-translation of the warrior's anthem: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/WarriorsAnthem For instance, Okrand's back-translated sentences in the anthem tend to be more complex and verbose, and he uses punctuation at the ends of sentences (unlike the King John back-translation).
