But it's an appropriate translation, because, as we all know, Klingon is not a code for English, and translations are not word-for-word affairs. The correct English expression for what *tlhIngan 'IH qaD* describes is /Klingon beauty contest./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Absolutely yes. It's a note for beginners for NOT remembering {'IH qaD} as "beauty contest". -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.net http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Monopoly
