Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon food vocabulary

Now, though, we have a new problem. The header is "Fruit and vegetables", but we have some TalkNow words, like cola and pizza, that aren't fruit and vegetables. (Also paSta'/pasta in the final section of "Terran fruit and vegetables".) I really don't know what to do with these words. I'll have to think about it awhile.
Change it as you think it makes sense. I think it's more useful to sort them by topic than by source.
I finally thought of a satisfactory solution. I've placed *qo'qo* and *tanje'rIn* into the borrowed fruits and vegetable list, and put foods like rice and soda into the list at the end. I agree with you that it isn't particularly useful to just lump all the TalkNow foods together. This did mean, however, that I had to note the exceptions (coconut, tangerine) to the rule that Terran foods always add a word like *naH*.
