Hi, a contributor of the Klingon Wiki pointed me to a Map of London in Klingon. It is obvious that the map was done using Bing, since the author says it himself. Surprisingly, the pIqaD is done correctly: http://londonist.com/2016/07/a-klingon-map-of-london But I wonder though where Bing got this translation from: "pathetic beard" = {maqDar rol} I guess there's a story with someone having that name. Can anyone check? -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh Grammarian of the KLI http://www.facebook.com/Klingonteacher http://www.klingonwiki.net/De/LondonMap
