While doing some research, I have a nitpicking question on the MSN Star Trek: Continuum that was online roughly from 1999 until 2003. Some may remember that there was a subsection that included Klingon words (with nothing really relevant or new to us) and another section with information about Klingon things. I now noticed there are two different titles, and I wonder which was part of what: "Star Trek: Continuum" clearly is the main thing, but then: Klingon Linguistic Studies Klingon Compendium Klingon Databanks Basically I wonder which of these is part of the other? Or which name is the official title? I have two pages at the wiki which need to merged into one, or at least correctly describe the situation correctly: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/StarTrekContinuum http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/KlingonCompendium http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/KlingonLinguisticStudies -- Lieven L.

IIRC "Klingon Compendium" referred to the entire Klingon section of startrek.com's elaborate "Star Trek: Continuum" website. It consisted of two parts: (1) "Klingon Linguistic Studies" (i.e. tlhIngan Hol vocabulary with definitions [unfortunately NOT supplied by Okrand], simplistic examples of each word of the {bIbep} "you complain", {jIbup} "I quit" variety), and audio recordings of Okrand pronouncing each example; and (2) the "Klingon Culture" database (i.e. descriptions and images of Klingon-related things seen in the shows and movies, e.g. gagh, d'ktagh, bat'leth, etc.). "Klingon Databanks" sounds like another name for the latter. -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons ----------------------------------------Original Message---------------------------------------- From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> On Behalf Of Lieven L.

Right. "Star Trek: Continuum" was the entire overall site, which was mostly Federation- rather than Klingon-related stuff. The "Klingon Compendium" was the Klingon-related area. One section within that was the "Klingon Linguistic Studies". The URL for the "Klingon Compendium" ended in "klingon_databanks.asp", which is presumably the origin of the other name. -- De'vID
