<excerpt><bigger>Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you create  and post
a summary of the Vulcan words and phrases from the Star Trek movies a 
while back?  You used the Epstein notation to write out the phonetic 
spellings of what you heard.  I was wondering if you still had the list 
around, could you repost it, along with the subtitles.  I just bought a
new  computer, giving the old one to my brother.  He seems to have
deleted a few  of my files before I had a chance to transfer them, so I'm
still catching  up.  Thanks!</bigger>  <bigger>-McReynolds</bigger>

From Star Trek II:

yicnuu moordlan ikh* banuu

He's never what I expect

wathria** ikh* ban^ otlam

What suprises you Lieutenant?

He's so..,human

lingeth** flamii buufeth**, savikam

Nobody's perfect Saavik

From Star Trek III:

Sa'avikwiimic kumps d^ liiben

I am Saavik, can you speak?

dom kii sada

so it has come

dwon'gii tuutsarafel

will you trust me?

 i - Brit. English <<pit>

 u - Brit. English <<put>

 e - Brit. English <<set>

 o - Brit. English <<not> (Amer. English <<naught>)

 ^ - Brit. English <<but>

 a - French "a" in <<patte>

ii - Brit. English <<mean>

uu - Brit. English <<prune>

oo - Brit. English <<fault>

 c - [sh] as in English <<push>

 * [kh] represents a sound like german [ch] as in the word <<ich>

** [th] heavily aspirated t, not quite an approximate, but very

   "breathy".

Still not quite exactly what they spoke in the movies, but as close

as I can come in my current mixed state of ignorance of phonology.
