a) Everything is possible ;-) b) I checked Okrand's message: it's {’arHentInya’} c) Note that many countries typically end with {-ya'} in Klingon, including {qarDaSya'} and {romuluSya'} so I'm sure it's not a typo. At the qepHom 2016, we even talked about that (-ya' ending) while looking at the list because someone said that "Slovakia" should be SIlovaqya' or so, but when we checked the original Name of Slovakia, it was clear that it's right with {SIlovenISqa’}. During that session, Okrand pointed at the repeated {-ya'} with other countries. So I'm quite sure he intended to say {’arHentInya’}. If not, I think we're stuck with it now :-) -- Lieven L.

At the same time that I sent the previous email I also contacted Dr. Okrand since I wasn't sure where the {Qaghqoq} had happened. He responded with a very similar explanation. Thank you for your response. DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. Jeremy

Not exactly :-) It was used in KGT on page 141+142 explaining "generational differences": "Cardassia is both qarDaS and qarDaSya'." but: "No one ever says romuluSya' or tera'ya'." -- Lieven L.
