This has probably been asked before, but how would you describe the text on something? "It says, 'crunchy'." "The packet says, 'Do not eat'." "The ingredient label reads, 'Peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil...'" -QISta'

I don't know if there is a canon way to do it, but perhaps I would approach this by saying: {/yIyep'eghmoH! chop Ha'DIbaH/. ngaSwI'Daq mu'meyvam lughItlhlu'ta'} "be careful! the animal bites. At the container someone has written these words" Or {ngaSwI'Daq mu'meyvam tu'lu'} these words are on the container ~ Capricorn

Very good. Another useful word is {cha'}: {veyDaq mu'meyvam lucha'lu'} -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/KlingonCD
