Okay first, I’m not at home in front of my collection.
Second, I’ve had THREE hours of sleep.
Third, I’ll let somebody else decicde if these count or not. Bettet to cast a wider net and ignore the unwanted entries than to miss them all together.
Title correction “A Pictorial Guide to the Verb Suffixes of tlhIngan Hol”
Earthlight DVD. It’s a DVD if images of Earth from space set to music with captions in 12 languages including tlhIngan Hol pIqaD. http://www.earthdvd.com/features.htm#Languages
Federation Travel Guide. Gives the useful phrase “That is not my dagger protruding from your midsection” I believe this introduced the verb .
Various novels by Keith R. A. DeCandido have Klingon glosseries towards the back of the book and give thanks to Marc Okrand. The canonocity of such words is subject to debate.
Klingon Interactive VCR Boardgame includes small amounts of spoken Klingon, and forces the players to learn the word
I’ll scan my collection when I get home…
Also adding
Secret Fighting Arts of the Warrior Race (a martial arts instructional book on how to use a betleH with information in romanized Klingon and pIqaD)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds III (contains a short story by Lawrence in Klingon)
Trekkies (brief, very brief, interview with Marc Okrand in which he gives us the word for “Trekkie”)
Hallmark *card*?
I’m aware of the Hallmark *commercial* for the Bird-of-Prey ornament, but not a card.
There were FOUR separate issues of jatmey, numbered one through four. Each issue featured original poetry and fiction in Klingon.
And, on a related note (and this is a nicely obscure bit of trivia), I have a short story entitled “Xenosomnabulism” in which the protagonist is shown an alien globe, and has his attention directed to a particular land mass, a long, skinny peninsula, which he is told is named Jatna’. What? You think Okrand is the only one allowed to play?
