A new take on Maurice\'s commands - Dan Z - 08-10-2007 During an off line conversation about Maurice's commands and Latin in general, a casual comment was made about giving the drill commands in Klingon. Two other people followed this with links to two on-line English to Klingon dictionaries. Alas, with all the tools to do the job right there in front of me I could not resist the temptation and I thought perhaps some of the folks here might find it amusing...

Demetrius - 08-10-2007 So how do you say, "We only wear red tunics" in Klingon?? Heh. Re: A new take on Maurice\'s commands - Dan Z - 08-10-2007 There doesn't seem to be a Klingon word for tunic so just leave that Latin, as for the rest, my research shows that would be: maH neH chaj chIS tunicae :wink: Re: A new take on Maurice\'s commands - M. Demetrius - 08-10-2007 Hmph! REAL Klingons wore red tunics. Heh. Thanks for the translation. Re: A new take on Maurice\'s commands - Tarbicus - 08-10-2007 Isn't that Batavian? Re: A new take on Maurice\'s commands - Magnus - 08-11-2007 I never understood why Klingons wore tight grey pants.
