some questions
Surak of Vulcan

I am not a language expert, so I will never claim to know that much 
about the intricuit details of any language, but I believe I have an 
insight into symantics that ma be helpful.

Some questions:

Is the Vulcan language officially called Yakana?  Has anyone even heard 
of this before?  The reason I ask is because of a web site created by 
Steve Nibblink (sp?).  He has the only Vulcan dictionary (that he and I 
have seen or know of) on the web.  There are at least a couple hundred 
words in this collection.  Some of the words were created by eager 
contributors which derived such rediculous words as m'cdonl'd = dinner, 
wt'wht'r = deciet, and som others like m'lgibs'n = lethal, or something 
like that.  Forgive me if the creator of these words is on this list.

Is one of the functions of this list to expand the vocabulary of Vulcan?  
If so, consider that because rokase means literally, medicine place, or 
hospital, that roratoq means paper place, or folder.

There is a link to Steve's page at my site if anyone wants to survey it.

Q:  If I want to say, "Your friend Surak"
 do I say it like  "S'at t'hyla Surak"?

Until next time,
LLaP
Surak
