The editors and I hope to have respected your rich culture and tradition (Vincent Van Gerven Oei's speech at qepHom 10) (HQ 4.4): Note that {nugh} "society" has a much broader meaning: a group of people with a shared culture. Accordingly, {tlhIngan nugh} would mean Klingon society as distinguished from, say, Romulan society, but {tlhIngan yej'an" would probably be The Klingon Society, a group dedicated to the study of Klingons.
